Hi. this kid is 9-month old this month. however, he was born prematurely. he is unable to sit on his own yet. is this a developmental delay?

The general rule is you apply development standards during the first 2 years to premis based on their adjusted age. You did not state how premi the baby was, so a firm answer cannot be given. You are welcome to start over with more information.
