My 11 month old still won't hold her own bottle. Sometimes she will attempt to hold the sippy cup but she doesn't lift it high enough to get a sip. Is this normal? She was breastfed and I also pumped milk into a bottle to use. She seems smart and on track. Just lazy. Is this normal?
My EBF DD held a bottle at 12.5m when prompted (and not for long). I don't recall my EBF DS doing so at all (had last bottle at 15m). DS is now 16m and is still hit and miss on using the sippy cup. Probably even worse b/c at home we give him a straw-cup or bottle which we tell him to hold down. Up or Down, make up your mind, People! LOL. All good!

My DD never did hold her own bottle, but got the sippy cup OK. I THINK DS held his own bottle, but it's not one of those major life milestones that stand out in my head.
DS never held his own bottle. But I also stopped bottles at 12 months so it wasn't too big a deal. He always held his own sippy cup. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
My two older ones never held their own bottles my youngest does. It has made the sippy cup transistion easier but other than that it's was never an issue.
