My ds is almost 8 months old and will not hold his bottle : he knows how to...he's done it a total of three times. How do I encourage it? He's heavy to hold at times because he weighs nearly 30 lbs.

    My DD just turned 8 months and is still inconsistent on this. What I find really gets her interested is using smaller bottles... that doesn't work most of the time b/c she eats 6 oz in a normal feeding, but I noticed that when she has a 4oz bottle with

    My son was lazy as hell with this.  As if he had T Rex arms or something :)  What helped was putting handles on the bottles.  Not sure if yours can do that but we used Avent and they sell handles that just slip right onto the bottle. &nb

    I think closer to 1 year old is when you can expect them to start holding bottles independently. If it's too difficult to have him on your lap, you can have him sit or lay next to you.

    DD is over 8 months and has zero interest in holding her own bottle. She holds her sippy with handles just fine but bottles- no way! She just likes to be cuddled with... which is fine with me. She's a big girl too. I just enjoy it because sooner or later

    This is really odd. I'm not understanding, why are you running around while feeding the baby? Sit down and feed the dang kid! Then you cant complain about how heavy he is. Not sure what his weight has to do with him not holding his bottle anyway...
