Ava's 6 month and doesn't, but I don't let her. I like feeding her. I can't help you there.

finn's been holding his for real since about 5 1/2 months. i just read yesterday that it's usually anywhere from 6-10 months with 10 months being the average. landon's right in the middle of that so i wouldn't be concerned. maybe he's too busy to hold it!

finn had been trying to hold his for months but his hands would kind of flip it and he'd drop it, now he can hold it completely on his own and he just learned that he has to tip it up to get the last of it.

i love feeding him but it's been really hot here lately and we don't have our a/c in yet so i'm glad i don't have to hold him anymore. i just set him up and let him go at it.

We put .oni in her high chair at 3 months. We *never* fed her outside of it, except for at night.

So, it took her a while to get a good grip on it. Especially with all the food on her hands!

But I think she was about 7, maybe 8 months when she got it down pat. But it was a cup not a bottle. The shapes are totally different.

They have these special bottles that are like triangular to help them grip it better.

I had .oni totally off the bottle by 9/10 months.

He's fine!! When he gets it, you'll miss it! lol!!
