A Nigerian baby, Amara Chiedozie, has surprised doctors and nurses in the UK after she started feeding herself with her bottle after 72 hours of her birth.
20-year-old single mother, Onyi Chiedozie who said she is amazed at how her daughter is capable of holding the feeding bottle on her own said she ‘grabbed’ her bottle during a feed and held it to her mouth.
Amara at threee days old actually started feeding herself, now at three weeks old she regularly holds her bottle all by herself and pushes it aside when she is full up.
Meanwhile the new mother, Onyi, who said she is using a combination of breast and bottle feeding, said everyone is amazed by the feat.

Amara was born at Queen’s Hospital in Romford, Essex, on August 3 weighing 6lbs 3oz.
Her mother Miss Chiedozie Onyi, a student, however, said she makes sure she is always watching her daughter when she is feeding herself.
She said: ‘Sometimes I hold her or sometimes you can prop her up with a pillow and give her the bottle. I’m always watching her – I don’t let her out of my sight.’
