Does your LO hold their own bottle?

DD is definitely capable of holding her own bottle, but she doesn't. I wish she would, haha. Any tips?

Yes, she has been doing this for awhile.  Sometimes she is lazy and wants me to hold it, but I usually just bring her hands up and let go.  So she has to hold it if she wants it.  (We have actually been bottle-free for about a month now, but the same applies to sippy cups).  Does your DD use a sippy cup yet?  Does she hold that?

No, he won't hold it. He will sometimes for a moment but then he lets go. I have to do the work.

We've used a sippy here and there. She can drink fro it, but more likes to chew on it. That she will hold on her own. But she will not hold her bottle. I put her hands there, she pulls them away.  I'd like to give her a sippy more - should I just put a little water in it and give it to her at meals?  I'm afraid to o that though because she gets mad when you take it from her and if I gave it to her during a meal she won't eat.

DD holds it sometimes, but usually I do all the work for her or we'll do it together.

DS does but sometimes he'd prefer us to do it.
