Nature intended babies to be held when they suckle. Because nature intended babies to be fed and comforted at their mother's breast, I believe it is optimal that whenever your child is suckling (that includes soother time) that they be held. Having exclusively breastfed three of my kids and bottle fed one of them, I know that when bottle feeding, it's easier said than done. It can be very tempting, once they can hold their own bottle, to sometimes let them do it on their own.
