Does your baby...

hold their own bottle?  I keep wondering when/if it will happen.  The bottles seem heavy now (7 oz) but I am hopeful that one day they will hold their own!

    Sometimes he will and sometimes he won't.

    He can hold it but he can't get it tipped at the right angle to get the milk out, even if he's reclined.  He tries though!

    She would much rather run her fingers thru my hair.  It's sweet, & it's our lil bonding time.

    Please don't take this the wrong way. I had to LOL because my MIL said when my husband was a baby he would do the same thing. One time he got it so tangled, they had to cut her hair to get his hand out! Bond carefully, lol!

    She can hold it, she just doesn't have the angle right all the time.  She gets the idea but sometimes she'll poke her eye or forehead.

    DD just started to hold her own bottle last week. and she will hold it every feeding.. DD #1 starting holding it at 6 months. They will hold it when they are ready.

    Yes my son figured this one out pretty early. He doesn't mess around when it comes to food!

    She'll hold it unless she's really tired / sleepy, but you have to help her out toward the end of the bottle, because she can't tip it far enough back by herself. She just started doing this about 2 weeks ago.

    DD will hold up her bottle under the right circumstances - if DH or FIL is feeding her, only with certain bottles (the shape is easier to hold for her?), and only when the bottle is down to 4 oz. or less so that it's light enough for her to hold up.  She doesn't seem to have the strength yet to hold up the full (5.5 oz) bottles yet.
