And the way for her to do that is for you not to give in whenever she wants you to. It seems harsh considering her age but she's just going to keep getting bigger and it's going to keep getting to be more of a hassle.Sort out when you thinks it's okay to hold her and when it's not. When it's not just say "mommy can't hold you right now. how about you find your____" and pick a toy or book that's near by or her bottle or something and try to distract her from her wanting to be picked up. It won't take long for her to get used to it but it is going to be trying to go through the process.</blockquote>
