Using pillows to hold children up whilst bottle feeding

Being a mum of twins makes some things quite interesting.
One of them being if they both need feeding at the same time.
We are bottle feeding them and I would like your opinions on whether it is ok to prop them up using a pillow so I can bottle feed them both at the same time.
They are 9 weeks old and have some head control so would be propped with head support.
Thanks

If you mean prop them up so you can hold two bottles at once then that’s fine.
If you mean use pillows to prop a bottle up then no.

I did this once or twice, but mostly I fed them individually. I liked having the one to one with them while they fed.

There is a twin pillow that asda sell, I didn't bottle feed or use the pillow but have seen plenty of pictures of them being used in that way😊

Our twins just turned a year. This is a problem we faced too.

Buy a twin feeding pillow. Trust me, you’ll get thebuse out of it. We bought ours on amazon. I just checked. Still available, costs £33. Total life saver when you need to feed the twins simultaneously!
