She can sit with support but she cant sit completely unaided. Is this normal or am I worrying too much?

The "guidelines" that are listed in books and other publications don't take individuality into consideration. You're daughter is not sitting up, because she may be expending all her energy by paying close attention to her surrounding, or trying to control her hands, or her tongue. The only time you should worry is when your baby isn't reaching ANY of her milestones. If she is only behind on one, I can bet that she is just focussed on something else and doesn't care much about sitting up. Either that or she just enjoys having so much attention from you and really has no need for independence.

Don't be worried. When she is 9 months, she will be sitting up on her own, but still needing a bit of support every now and then. My daughter didn't sit up on her own completely when she was almost 8 months either.

Every child developes at there own rate.
I remember that my now 8yr old did not sit up properly unaided until quite late. And he is a perfectly normal child
But if you are worried speak to your Health Visitor. They will be able to reassure you.

my son is 8 months old and cant sit up either, but he is quite chubby and I think that is the reason! You think it would be the other way round Iits not ! With my first son (aged 5) I was eager for him to do everything early but with my baby Teddy I am happy for him to do things in his own time, after all they 're not babies for long and he does have 2 teeth and can speak french so who am I to compare .............................

Yes you are worrying for nothing my nice was 18months old before she walked,she will do it all in her own time and if she feels that you are that you are nerves that will pass on to her stay relaxed and enjoy her when she starts walking you will be wore out running after her
