A member asked:
My 6 month year old infant is already holding her bottle...is that safe and okay for her to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
