Bottle Feeding Tip: Baby's Posture

I thought I would share a quick bottle feeding tip. When bottle feeding a baby, make sure that her head is up higher than her belly. In other words don't give her a bottle lying down. This can cause the fluid in her mouth to back up in her ear leading to an ear infection (See The Best Position for Feeding.) This doesn't guarantee that your baby won't get an ear infection (my 7 month is always bottle fed like this and he has an ear infection) but it can help prevent it.

A. Elliot's Lesson Learned: Make your baby's head is higher than her belly when bottle feeding.
