	We have an 8 1/2 month old.  Until about two weeks ago we were
	holding his bottle and rocking him to sleep in our arms.  We
	were told that it is a very bad habit to get you child into and
	that he should be going to sleep in his crib by himself.  We
	were then given the advise of putting him in his crib with the
	bottle propped to wean him from having to hold him.

Propping a bottle is not too great for tooth decay.  The milk, juice,
etc lingers in the mouth because the baby is falling asleep and
therefore doesn't swallow.
