Babies are not supposed to be able to feed themselves until they are six months old, and even then, it is messy. Claire has decided to start feeding herself at three and a half months. She tries to take the bottle from me when I am feeding her, and likes to practice taking it out of her mouth and putting it back in. While not the most efficient way to get milk into her tummy, she has a lot of fun. I never leave her unattended with the bottle, and I never prop the bottle. She is still pretty uncoordinated, but she probably won't be for long!
