How do I teach my seven months old to sit down upright without leaning, every time I put my baby in the corner of my sofa to sit down he adjust himself and moves downwards to make sure his back is leaning in a movie watching style instead of sitting upright, I don't have a dinning table or chairs coz I live in a small apartment please advise me on what am doing wrong my baby likes leaning down instead of sitting upwrite which is a challenge coz I want to teach him to finger feed himself but we're not yet there if he doesn't learn to sit upright how will he comfortably learn to finger feed. As for now am spoon feeding him myself he is not yet independent how do I get there? Caroline from Kenya.

My baby will snatch his hands away whenever I try to hold them, so how will I be able to put a spoon in them initially?

What do you do at age 4 months? Do you give them any purees first? Or do you just jump from milk for 6 months and then start BLW with solids?
