The baby is 4 months old, but she wants to sit up, she reaches out, and doesn't want to lie down. The lounge chair doesn't help. Is it okay to seat her, and can you recommend a good feeding chair that supports her back well?

It is still too early to seat a baby at 4 months old, as their muscles and bones are not yet sufficiently developed for this. However, you can try using a special feeding chair that provides the correct back position for the child. For example, chairs from brands such as Chicco, Peg Perego, Fisher-Price, or Graco have good back and leg support, which will help the baby feel comfortable and safe during feeding. It is also necessary to pay attention to the ability to adjust the height and tilt of the chair's backrest to find the optimal position for the child. In any case, it is better to consult with a pediatrician or a child development specialist before purchasing a chair.

It seems to you that he wants to sit down. You absolutely should not sit him down. Lay him on his tummy and let him learn to crawl. Children sit up from all fours. If the child doesn't have all fours yet, then his muscles and bones are not ready. If you don't want to make your child disabled, don't even think about putting him in a chair at 4 months old.

Until the child starts sitting up on their own, you should not sit them down as their muscles and back are not ready yet. And the same goes for any other skills; until they start doing it themselves, you do not need to help them.

You are misinterpreting his attempts to "sit." His "reaching out" is not an attempt to sit; it is more about muscle tone. Children sit from a standing position on all fours, not by pulling their torso to their feet. Before reaching this stage, he should learn to "stand" on his hands while lying on his stomach, master the "mermaid" pose, and crawl; only then should he sit. Your deliberate actions to seat him now could lead to spine problems in the future.
