K.H.
WAIT IT OUT!!!!!! Once he starts holding his own bottle, he will become more and more independent and before you know it he will be a toddler than a preschooler and so on! You will miss your baby wanting to be babied! Enjoy the time you have with those prescious moments of cuddling because now my 2 and 3 year old boys are too busy and independent to want to hug mom let alone crawl into my lap for some cuddle time!
