when you bottle feed...

...do you ever do it while DC is sitting in her bouncer or carseat, or do you always hold him/her while feeding?

Once in awhile I'll do it while he's in his stroller or carseat, but usually he's cuddled with me. I read something early on that said to always hold them while eating for attachment purposes, but sometimes that's not convenient. DS doesn't seem to care either way.

I've fed DD in her carseat while DH drives many a time. I ride with her for long car trips. Never tried with her in the bouncer though.

I almost always hold her.  With 2 other children, the time that I get to spend cuddling her is lessened and I know it doesn't last long before they won't cuddle!  That being said, I do on occasion feed her in the stroller or carseat.

I generally hold him, but if we are at a restuarant and he wants a bottle i might just give it to him in the high chair unless he is objecting.

We always hold her, but she takes a bottle about once a week and DH loves the chance to feed her (or she's being babysat by a grandma or auntie and they love the chance to cuddle her). I've fed her once in her carseat when she was little and having a meltdown. If you bottle feed all the time I can understand doing it once in a while not holding them.

He almost always takes the bottle himself.  He's really really strong, and feeding him the bottle isn't easy.
