A member asked:
Is it okay to sit up my 2month old? like on the couch with pillows to support her?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: 2 month olds have partial head control and may not be able to support the weight of the head. May lead to neck sprain and constant crying. So, propping up with pillows is not recommended.
