Let your baby struggle...a little
At this age your 5 to 7 month old gets to learn to cope with gravity from the experience of falling from a sitting position. Obviously this type of experience should only occur in carpeted or padded areas. When the five- to seven-month-old topples from a sitting position, wise parents will let him struggle briefly before coming to his assistance. Parents who rush too quickly to help often do a disservice to the infant by removing his opportunity to respond to and struggle through this situation successfully. Allowing him to try to recover from a gentle fall will increase his physical balance and allow him to build muscular capacity.
