Hi mummies, I am being question by my father why my lo at 4 months can't hold his own bottle while feeding? I don't know that at 4 months I have to start to teach him. How should I start to teach him? dose brand and size of bottle matters?

I was told by the infantcare teachers tat usually babies start holding their bottles at 6mths old.. My baby cant hold his bottle at tat age n they r wondering y... Lol! Different babies r different. I started teaching him at 7mths plus old and teach a few times oni and he learns it very fast! Now at 8mths old, he can hold his bottle liao. Bottle doesnt matter at all! It really depends on ur baby, if he is ready to learn anot. U hv to observe him. If his hands keep coming up to push e bottle away u can start teaching him liao. try putting both his hands on e bottle. At first, he will push it away or play wif it. Continue to do tiz every feed. He will learn it one day!
