[blparent] Holding a bottle independently?

[Shannon Wells]

As long as they aren't allergic, chocolate milk in a sippy always worked 
with mine. Kierstin, the 14 month old quit the bottle 2 weeks ago. Doesn't 
even cry after them now. My first one, Faith was off the bottle right at 1 
year. One thing about chocolate milk is it is so sweet and good and that 
formula is nasty. Just a thought. Good luck.
