Hey ladies! My DD is 4 months, 2 adjusted and my SIL asked why she wasn't holding her own bottle when eating and why she wasn't using a sippy cup yet (yes, at two months adjusted!). DD's pedi doesn't seem concerned that DD just found her hands and loves to eat them, he never mentioned about not holding her own bottle. Just wondering what ages your LO's held their own bottle and then started using sippy cups?
I think this is funny coming from my SIL who still allows her DS to drink bottles at 3.5 years....
Re: Holding own bottle, starting sippy cup?!
My DD (who was a 35 weeker) didn't start holding her own bottle till she was 9 months. I think it was because I liked holding it for her. She'll be 11 months old on the 7th and she still has to lay flat on her back to drink becasue she will not hold it up. My son was the same way. And she has no interest in a sippy cup.
Your DD will drink by herself and out of a sippy cup when she is ready or when your ready.
2 months adjusted?!?!
This was one of Andrew's therapy goals around 9 months adjusted and he never did hold a bottle...finally got him on a sippy at 15 months adjusted by going cold turkey...
Your SIL is nuts.
