When can baby sit in highchair

Babies should be able to sit in a highchair without assistance from an adult before they turn one. If your baby can not, it may indicate that he or she is ready for solids and needs more practice sitting up on their own. This will give them the opportunity to explore different textures, tastes, smells, and shapes as well as see what other people are eating at meal time. To help with this transition try starting out slowly by giving your little one just a few bites of food every day for several days until they get used to it. Gradually start adding more bites each day so that eventually you’ll have reached half of the child’s daily caloric intake per mealtime through solid foods alone!
