my 6 month year old infant is already holding her bottle...is that safe and okay for her to do?

Depends on situation: If baby is sitting while holding her bottle it's probably fine. If laying down its a problem. This position for feeding is more likely to lead to ear infections and dental decay. It's a nice trick but its a bit early to let baby self feed.

Accepted Answer

Neck Floats: Neck floats do not replace parent or caregiver being in the water with the infant.   Not safe if using without close supervision.

Question 10

is swaddling an infant tight safe?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Infant swaddling is a transitional measure that replicates the snug feeling of the womb & calms baby when they can't handle the random movement of arms & legs. That said, they didn't need to breath in the womb and without room for arms & legs to move they don't develop muscle tone.To tight is a problem for both. The goal is to gradually loosen the wrap & have it gone at a month.
