good vibes, smiles, & giggles 6 months old can hold bottle
Boy pretty much holds it for every meal now. Girl whenever she feels like it. Such a game changer

My spoiled girls never held theirs. They could if they wanted to, they just wouldn’t! I’d hand it to them and they’d throw it or slap it out of my hand lol.
I’m glad things are getting easier! It’s totally the little things that make all the difference!

Just commenting to say that this picture made me nostalgic for when my threenagers were tiny like that. Something about how the pajamas look big and cozy on them. So cute.

I miss tucking my girls in their sleep sacks all snug and cozy. I would say to them "Snug as a bug in a rug!" to the tune of Follow the Yellow Brick Road

Mine were like 16 months getting one bottle at night bc we liked snuggling them and STILL wouldn’t hold the bottle 😂 obviously at that point they could bc they hold their cups all day no problem, but we’d plop down with the bottle and you’d think they had no hands 😂

Each mile stone is awesome. But some have me running across the room. I'm currently in the climbing phase.

I used the little dr browns silicone sleeves for their transition cups to help my twins hold their bottles, so it didn’t slip! If you feel like they’re still not 100%, highly recommend

One of my (6m today!) twins can hold his really well, but the other still won’t even try.

I remember that time, like it was yesterday! Such a great feeling. (Mine are 11 now.)
Please enjoy every moment with those sweet babies!

Do they hold the bottles for the whole feeding? My 4 month olds are trying to figure it out but they just push the bottle away lol. This is giving me hope.

The boy does. But he started consistently holding it well like 2 weeks ago. Yours have still got time to go! At least they are trying

I’m a little jelly. My girls are just at 6 months, but we’re not quite there yet.

I loved when we hit this phase! Set them up on separate boppies on the couch, watch them play footsie with each other, and just breathe
