Bottle-holding usually develops between 6-9 months and comes at different times for each baby. The key is not to push.
Babies start by grabbing with both hands, then move to one-handed holding. Bottles with small handles or clear grip spots can help. Gently guide baby's hands to the bottle and hold it together for a few seconds to show the idea.
Important: don't insist if baby isn't interested or gets frustrated. If baby keeps dropping it or seems annoyed, wait a few weeks and try again. Most babies can hold their bottle on their own around 9-10 months.
If you have questions about other feeding milestones, I'm happy to help.
