what does her pediatrician say?
While she is on the later side for some of these milestones, she is technically still within the realm of "typical" development. However, since she is on the later side in more than 1 area, I would err on the side of caution and schedule an extra appointment. You can also try to find a developmental pediatrician.

What if you didn't hold the bottle? My little one is lazy and prefers to not hold hers, but if we let it drop, she'll pick it up.
Is she not feeding herself anything? Is she able to use her fingers to pinch and pick up food? Can she put things in her mouth? not just food- but at least toys? Some kids do have textural issues with solid food and it takes them a while to get over it. Still, even those kids will find something they like and eat it, like dissolvable toddler snacks. Do you LET her try and feed herself? My 13 month old will not even start eating unless I give her a fork. I only ask because some parents are afraid of the mess and don't give their babies a chance to try eating different and messy foods on their own.

Has she met her other milestones? Does she say any words? Does she smile and wave or clap? High-fives? Pick up and play with toys? Copy mom and dad?
