Bottle prop?

CheyenneShawCheyenneShaw
in 3rd Trimester

Arent these dangerous? Im talking about the contraptions and such that hold the bottle for babies who cant hold the bottle themselves yet. This just sounds dangerous to me. Is is not a choking hazard?

Im talking about these things

The baby in the photo seems to be a bit older than the infant I saw with one at the Social Security office today. The baby was a maybe 2-4months and mommy was turned away until every few minutes the baby would start coughing because she was getting no breaks to breathe.

 

Be honest am I just being....uptight? or is this seriously a choking hazard?

    Those are awful, babies should be held when they are being fed- interaction is important- it's more than just nutrition!  I suppose if you're having multiples it might be useful at times but geez otherwise it's unnecessary.

    I never propped bottles (using any method) and I fed 2 babies at once. These are just for lazy people!

    come on ladies - feeding a baby is sooooo hard!  I mean - who wants to spend their time holding a bottle when they could be doing something else? 

    Laziness at its best

    It drives me nuts when I see people walking around the mall with the baby in a stroller using one of these. Seriously you can't take 15-20 minutes to sit down and feed your baby? So lazy.

    That is terrible!

    Feeding is a bonding time.

    Huge choking hazard. I did watch an episode of Bringing Home Baby once where the couple had triplets and the mom utilized something like that to feed them, but she was supervising them the whole time. In that situation, I could see how you might need to do something like that. For one kid, no way.
