How many LOs are holding their own bottles out there? DS is starting to do his about 15 seconds before he flails his arms around and knocks it out of his mouth
Ds is ebf so I haven't given him a bottle but I introduced the sippy cup with some water a few days ago. He has a little trouble getting it into his mouth but does well with holding it. I think it's a bit easier because of the handles.

She can hold it but doesn't tilt it enough to get the milk out. But I don't let her (and won't let her) hold it for a full feed ever. She can help me hold it, but I will always be holding her and the bottle until we are done bottle feeding. That is my cuddle time with her and I refuse to loose it. I missed it once my oldest stopped using the bottle so I'm going to cherish it while I have it again!

My LO is feeding herself now she takes the bottle from me so I let her and its good practice. She started at 4.5 months and now she is a pro at it, it's adorable but it makes me sad that she is growing so fast.
Re: holding bottles?
My DD is doing it for short periods of time. She actually just holds it with her mouth towards the end when the bottle is light lmao
