Need advice
My baby girls are both 7months old born 34 weeks and I think they are behind and i don’t know how or what to do are they meant to be sitting on the own by now they got into the crawling position but not crawled yet but still not sitting on they own is this because they can’t sit on the own and it might be effecting them on crawling?

Sitting unsupported is a 7-9 month thing, as is crawling (7 to 10 months) so I wouldn't worry too much yet.
Developmentally they are 5 1/2 months, so they probs won’t sit for another month or so, developmentally my baby was 7 months when he started to sit but was actually 9 months old, I was told the baby was born early (before 36 weeks) they will be caught up by the time they turn 2
Try not to worry or pay too much attention to developmental milestones. Even with babies born full term there is such a range between when they achieve these things. Every baby is different and as mentioned above, it can take 2 years before preemies catch up. My son was born at 31+4 and didn’t start crawling until 10 months.

My baby is almost 10 months old was born at 31 weeks and only started sitting about a month ago, no sign of crawling yet but loves when we hold him in a standing position, don’t stress yourself out, they’ll learn it all eventually
