I was so hoping that golfer and oomis would weigh in since I wasn’t near a computer 🙂
I second everything they said except that you may argue that if you do it just once or twice it may not hinder their development. The biggest problem with this, that trumps all and hasn’t been mentioned, is that a baby could ch”v DROWN! If you are propping a bottle, you are talking about an infant under 6-8 months. If you prop the bottle in his mouth and he starts coughing or doesn’t want anymore, he will start to kvetch and cry. This crying will bring more milk into his mouth and he will have nowhere to turn. It is really a terrible practice, VERY dangerous. Unfortunately there are lots of people out there who did it successfully who will tell you they lived thru it just fine. As if that is a raya . . .
