giving bottle to ds whilst he was flat on back??

[vis]

ok have a thread about trying ot get boob boy off my boob since start work in 2weeks.

went to nursery settling in days. they are trying bottle...but when i looked thru the door he was flat on his back rollign his head around lookign at toys whilst a bottle was being held in his mouth tryign to take some.....added to this his baby grow was soaked, they didnt show me the bib and they said he had taken 4 oz ( when we got home he fed +++ boob- i don't think he really took that much, i think they were trying to make me feel better?!)

so what the heck...thats not right is it- feedin gon the flat?!

Really bad practice, complain, it's obviously what they do all the time, child could choke, are they crazy, OFSTED can come into Nurseries at any time so they sound sloppy to me. Any other childcare options in your area?

Point out the potential medical consequences of a baby fed flat - can cause ear infections or something like that because teh eustacion tube can become blocked.

Going to bed now but of you want me to find more info on it give me the nod and I will dig it out tomorrow.

thanks...i feel like a right demanding mothers already since i do appreciate i am bringing a problem for them to sort out, any way.. will let you know how it goes on monday

here are the medical reasons for not feeding lying down

feeding lying down is not a good idea.

surely makes choking/spluttering/vomiting more likely?

babies and young children need their heads supporting when they feed, surely that is a given..why are trained nursery nurses not doing so? have you ever seen a picture in a book of a baby being bottle fed flat on their back?

if this is in the UK, i would think about OFSTED....

asking for your baby to be fed safely, is not demanding, it is a right !!
