Meaning, what position or where and do they hold bottle themselves yet?

I held DS (and still do at bedtime) in the same cuddly position as I did when breast feeding, he only started holding his bottle completely on his own at about 8 months. He could probably do it before but it's so much easier if mummy does it ;)
Now at 9 months he lies on a cusion and drinks his bottle by himself, most days!

Mine is 7 months old now. At 5 months I would either hold her in the cuddly "breast feeding" position, or sat on my lap, facing forward and leading back against my chest, usually off to the side a little - if that makes sense! It would depend on time of day, so bedtime feed would always be cuddly, the others would tend to be facing away. She would try and hold her bottle, and could sometimes manage for a short while. Now she reaches out and grabs for it as soon as she sees it, which is so funny!
