Weaning
Want to start weaning but I’m confused as I keep seeing things saying baby should be able to sit up on their own - mine definitely can’t sit on their own on the floor - he would flop to the side and needs hands to help hold him up. But he is ok in the high chair?
Those who have started weaning their baby with food already , can your baby sit on the floor on their own? Or no but you still have introduced foods?

Assisted sitting still counts as long as they have good head control and can hold their head up properly as to not choke! My LG is still wobbly when sitting unaided but has perfect head control
My first was ok to sit in the highchair but not alone when we started weaning. She was find and now in her terrible 2 stage. Our December baby was better at sitting before we introduced food but still wasn't 100%. We followed their queues for food. Both extra hungry babies so we started and we've not had any issues. They tend to say when they're confident sitters just incase of any choking issues but it's not like your gonna lay baby back down as soon as they've finished, they get some sit up time after a meal to make sure it stays down
Mine doesn't sit alone and is far from it! 😂😂 But he has a strong head control! I started giving him food (pure food fed by me on a spoon - sweet potato, banana, avocado etc) he loves it!
Just try it and see if he enjoys it! I'd suggest a smashed piece of banana, as it's sweet! I cut just 2cm of a banan for him
