Before the Bumbo seat this is how I would prop Sean up to help him build his core strength for sitting on his own. We also hold him with his back against us in our lap, in our lap facing us while we hold under his armpits and applying slight pressure to keep his back from arching. But it just didn't seem like it was enough. Duane & I thought we could be doing more.
Although in this picture below, he is in great alignment. He's able to bring his hands to midline-no problem. And even though he hasn't had a problem bringing his hands or toys to his mouth or "midline", other children with Down's tend to have trouble because of the Hypotonia.
