hollie hated lying down in the pram so i had her propped up quite early, maybe too early, but it was the only way she was happy and that i could actually use the pram... i think at about 6-8 weeks she was on a slight incline... by 3 months she was certainly more upright, now at 4 months she sits quite upright with only a slight incline... just go by your baby, what is okay for some isn't for others... hollie was extremely alert so wasn't interested in laying in a pram where she couldn't see anything.... its so nice when they can watch the world go by...
