but when people post pictures bottle-feeding their babies while their babies are laying down... how do you not fear them choking? and from what I have read... babies can get ear infections from this too.
People share your judgy-ness so I don't feel as bad. ha ha.

I don't really know the difference, but DS2 is on his side while bf'ing not on his back. I have always heard to not lay them flat with a bottle or put them to bed with a bottle once they are old enough to hold it.
I judge constant bottle propers. Is that the right spelling? I know you have to do it sometimes, but people who do it because they are lazy really annoy me.
I wasn't being snarky - totally just asking. I have done virtually no research on proper feeding for bottles because I was hoping to EBF.
I football hold often so DD is nearly flat. I prop her head up slightly, but not much. She doesn't seem to have any issues at this point. {knocks on wood}

i can only do football...kinda awkward...hopefully i'll be able to change soon.
op...i know the LC told me if i were to bottle feed then she would need to be at an incline with the bottle horizontal because the baby cannot control the flow of milk like they can with the breast. not sure if it is choking related.
I have to bottle prop a lot but neither of the boys are ever laying flat when it's done. And I still stop them to burp. It happens to Jason more than Braidon due to the fact I have to burp Braidon about every half ounce to slow down his spitting up.
But the difference is a bottle will keep leaking into their mouth with out sucking and can cause ear infections. Also the air if they suck on a empty bottle all the air can cause gas issues and ear infections.
agreed. god forbid your baby or babies choke and you cant get to them fast enough and they are incapable of moving it. it really bothers me

this. at least you're sitting there with them, or so I'd hope.

Agreed! Every once in awhile while getting ready or in a hurry is fine. But I feel bad for the baby when it's constant... almost like no one has time for them. Poor things!
