Well I don't mean normal so much as usual.
When Maddie is led on the floor i quite often let her hold my fingers and help her into a sitting position but just recently when i have done this just as she is coming up to sitting she pushes her feet down and stands herslef up, she is only 24 weeks so i wasn't sure if this is usual and also if it is ok for her to do.
Has anyone else's lo done the same?

yeah fin is doing this too he is 23 weeks , they will be walking b4 we know it lol

Thats good, the first time she did it i thought you shouldn't be doing that and then worried about if it would hurt her legs.
God i haven't stopped worrying since becoming a mum! lol

i have one of them leap things too i think it helps them find there feet and give their legs a little more strenght

I think so too, since having it she doesn't want to sit on your lap and pushes herself to standing all the time.
She is so strong now it's a real struggle to hold her when she gets excited and i could never carry her round the shops like you see so many mums doing.

sonny has been doing this for a couple of months too. He loves standing & is alwasy trying to get himself standing rather than sitting. I have had people tell me "oh you shouldn't cause he will get bow legs" but imo he only stands as long as he can & wants & it's not like I have him standing all day, it is more like seconds to a couple of minutes a few times a day so don't worry about it as afaiac it is totally normal for them to be exploring their abilities.

What a clever baby!! Does your lo rock back and forth on your knee like theyre riding a horse? My lo is 5 months and has just started doing this!

Oh yes, she throws herself back and forth trying to sit up all the time, watch out when they swing back it hurts when you get a headbutt! lol
