-Holds and Feeds Herself From The Bottle

Onyi Chiedozie, a Nigerian based in the UK has shared how her daughter Amara, learnt to feed herself at just 3 days old. Still less than three weeks old, the baby now regularly holds her bottle to feed and pushes it aside when she is full.

Baby Amara was born to Onyi Chiedozie, a single mother, on August 3rd at the Queen’s Hospital, Romford, Essex, weighing 6lb 3oz. Onyi says;

“I just think she has a lot of strength, I’m not sure why though as she wasn’t particularly heavy when she was born. When she doesn’t want it she will push it away. She isn’t strong enough to throw it away, but she does push it away, like she does with her dummy. If she is really hungry, she starts shaking, then she will just grab the bottle as you give it to her.”
