2 month old baby held and drank from bottle...

[Poppylizzyrose]

I’ve googled and know it’s been done, but anyone else’s babies done this? She’s bf mainly too. She just grabbed at the bottle, filmed her and took pictures and I was amazed. Didn’t think they had motor skills to do it until older. It wasn’t full so didn’t weigh a lot I’m just confused and a bit in awe....🤯🤯

She finished a bottle and I fetched her the other one I had in fridge, she drinks cold too, isn’t bothered. She loves her food, I was just shocked she’d made the connections...

DD was 17 when she asked me how to operate a mop. The shame of it.

My 17 year old wouldn't even have the language skills for that! He can ask for food and money. But assistance with learning how to wash a floor/dish/clothes is beyond his capacity. Not enough vocabulary yet.

enjoy it while it lasts,

you gradually let go of the dreams you have for them in the face of evidence as they grow older.

I do remember dd having a bottle for the first time. at first it was what is this thing in my mouth then she obviously tasted milk, her eyes lit up and she drained the lot in no time and went back for more.

My DC1 picked up a 20p piece when she was 8 weeks old, with a full pincer grip and everything. I thought she was some sort of genius. Sadly, 9 years on she has not turned out to be a prodigy after all, although she does have very neat handwriting so maybe it was an early indication of good fine motor skills.

It is exciting as a parent when they do something new though. Write it down in one of those baby milestone books - my DC love looking over them with me.

😂😂 awww thanks all, really perked me up at 5.43 xx

I think it was a fluke too, I tried Day after and she didn’t hold. I’m gathering enough in milk pockets and will be expressing a bit tomorrow so i’l try again tomorrow but I doubt she will.

In other news she pauses and lets me “speak” and babbles back. Bad news is she’s waking at half 2 then again at half 5. We’d got it to 3am every night after proper sleep from 11. So it had been 11-3-7-10 (I sleep in) now it’s (roughly) 11-2-5-7-10 (if she follows her new pattern) hopefully fingers crossed we go back to the old one. She’d even started having the odd night she slept through. She had a 11-6:30. I co sleep and was hoping to move her into crib when she stops waking much, but now I fear that will totally throw her sleep out.

I need my sleep and suffered in the early days, so desperate to get good sleep.

As she’s drifted off! Night all xx
