He can some times start by sitting up on his side which is pretty good .If I sit him up does o.k. for a couple of minutes ,but then too excited ,and likes to slam back ,and falls down have to watch so he does not hurt himself .

My son used a walker from an early age and I think that helped a lot. I also propped him up on pillows. My daughter was early doing everything and I really did not do much with her at all. She figured it all out by 5 months. Even getting to a sitting position all by herself.

I used to prop my kids up with a lot of pillows, behind them, and all around them, that way, they could sit up, but if they happened to slump over, they would not get hurt. Of course, I stayed close by for extra protection. Practice and encouragement, in time, he will be doing much more than sitting up by himself.

My son used to have the same problem so I just started putting pillows around him.so if he fell back he'd be ok
