The photographer acted shocked that he wasn't able to sit up without a little support behind his back and that he isn't crawling yet...Is my baby behind in development or is this photographer tripping?

He Is an idiot!!! Hes a photographer...and by the sounds of it not a doctor!!!
I work in a nursery and some children dont sit up until there about 8months!!!
Your baby is not behind in development, i work in childcare, and they say a child should be sat up by 3-6months....but these are only steping stones!!!
Just remember each child is an individual, and they all grow at different rates!!
He will sit up soon enough, you have nothing to worry about!
Good luck....Hope this helps!

That frickin photographer is tripping and an asss. That's just absolutely ridiculous. My son is exactly 5 months old now and he is barely sitting up (trying, but not quite) and no where near crawling. That normally doesn't happen until around 7 months for an average, but all babies are different and honestly I think it was rude to even point it out. Your baby is perfect!

I have a five month old daughter and she doesn't sit up or crawl yet. She can sit if propped up. That photographer is trippin! That's a shame he/she had to made you feel like your child was behind. You can always check online or in books to see what things they should be doing. Even then it doesn't mean they are yet.

The photographer's children is most probably grown up or in a teenage phase. My son is a year and four months and started crawling at 8 months. Your child is not behind. Don't let people influence you. You wanted to do something special for your baby and it is not his job to make comments that he rather has to keep for himself.

are you kidding? Gosh no, your baby is perfectly normal! The photographer needs to pull the tripod out his a*se!
Both my kids sat at about 6mths unaided and crawled at about 7mths so your son is right on track. Usually by 5mths they can sit up but need some sort of back support or they will just slump over all the time.
Go somewhere else next year!
Best of luck and I hope the pics turned out great!

the photographer is wrong in doing so if he did that. Its just that people don't remember their times at all. They think their child was the fastest one. Your baby is not at all behind in development and that is absolutely fine. Let others think and say what they want to.

Oh my, I'm sure the photo goy doesn't have any children! My baby girl sitted w/o support when she was 7 months old, and I've seen many babies that don't accomplish it until they are 8-9 months. The guy is tripping.

Yeah, just dumb people trying to act smart. If you want to see for yourself, just do a search "developmental milestones sitting up". Every baby is different, and I wouldn't go back to a photographer that wanted to worry me.

Babies usually don't sit up until at least 6 months. 5 months is way to young to be crawling!
