My three month old has started trying to pull himself up to sit (almost like doing a sit up when laid on me) - should I be doing anything to help?

Our LB has started doing this and has also started trying to pull himself out of his car seat 🤦🏼♀️ on wonder weeks as part of leap 3 one exercise you can do is to have your legs bend and lay them on your lap so they’re like half sat up and then if they’re happy to gently pull them up with their arms 😊

My 3 month old won’t do any of this!! All he cares about is chewing his hands 😫😫 he is teething to be fair x

I let my LO hold my thumb and hold her arms, then give her little help to pull her to sitting from lying down. She does most of the work, It's one of the exercises to help there muscles in shoulders and arms:) x

@Shannon my boy is the same

My little girl does this, she's 12 weeks and will try and sit up when propped up at 45° or so. I think it's just random movements of having just discovered her stomach muscles so far.
