Now at 6.5 months he holds all of his bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-holding-bottle-on-own#post-530585 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 22:06:09 +0000 MamaCate 530585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5-6 months. We didn't know about it until daycare told us. She liked to hold it herself sometimes. After a while she liked to take a few sips and then throw it, then go get it again, so we ended up switching to milk in a sippy around 11 months... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-holding-bottle-on-own#post-530536 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:38:42 +0000 mrs. wagon 530536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: haha probably. boo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-holding-bottle-on-own#post-530534 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:37:18 +0000 rachiecakes 530534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: well that makes me feel SO much better!! J won't hold a bottle and refuses milk in a sippy (he'll drink water &amp; juice in one)... comfort thing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-holding-bottle-on-own#post-530532 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:34:14 +0000 betsyboop 530532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was all about holding her bottle when she was 4 months but once she figured out how to do it, she decided it wasn't fun anymore and has refused to hold it ever since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-holding-bottle-on-own#post-530528 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:30:06 +0000 keiki_mama 530528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO started holdings his own bottle at 5 months old. When he's sick he won't hold it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-holding-bottle-on-own#post-530497 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:12:49 +0000 heffalump 530497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She never really did. She could..... but she was like why am I going to do that when someone else will do it for me? And then she would just cry until I did it.</p> <p>I never worried about it, and at one we stopped with the bottle all together and she holds her own sippy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-holding-bottle-on-own#post-530496 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:11:55 +0000 autumnlove 530496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8-9 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-holding-bottle-on-own#post-530490 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:08:17 +0000 cyndistar3 530490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bree72: I think our lo's have the same idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-holding-bottle-on-own#post-530488 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:07:36 +0000 cyndistar3 530488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first lo was holding it by herself around 5 months but my second is 7 1/2 months old and she won't even try to hold a bottle by herself! She will eat finger foods all day long but balls her fists and tucks her arms back like a chicken when I try to hand her a bottle/ sippy cup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-holding-bottle-on-own#post-530487 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:07:10 +0000 BananaPancakes 530487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's 9 months and I don't see it happening any time soon. He holds the sippy fine, but I can't convince him he can hold the bottle, as well. He thinks that's my job, I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-holding-bottle-on-own#post-530483 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:02:25 +0000 mrs. wagon 530483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any day now!! He's three. Haha. He never held his own bottle...!!! I always see kids in strollers feeding themselves bottles and I'm so jealous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-holding-bottle-on-own#post-530481 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:01:08 +0000 littlecasita1122 530481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering...my LO is 7 months and can hold it for a minute or so and then gets lazy. </p>
