`
`Always Hold the Baby Bottle
`Never Prop a Bottle
`Babies learn about comfort, love, and caring when
`they are fed. Babies should never have to eat alone.
`Feeding time should always be a special time for you
`and your baby.
`
`Some stores sell pillows and toys that hold a bottle
`in a baby’s mouth. But there are many reasons why
`you should not use these, and never prop a bottle.
`
`Your baby could choke
`If your baby is alone with the bottle, you will not
`be there to notice if your baby starts to choke. If you are not there when your baby is
`choking, you cannot pull the bottle away, pick up the baby, and pat the baby’s back.
`
`Feeding time should always be
`a special time for your baby.
`
`Your baby could get an ear infection
`The tube of the ear (eustachian tube) opens into the throat, to keep the pressure on
`both sides of the eardrum equal. When a baby eats lying down, the milk or formula
`can flow from the throat into the ear. This can cause an ear infection. This infection
`could spread to other parts of the baby’s body.

`
`
`Your baby’s teeth could rot
`Many parents think it is not important to take care of baby teeth, since they will be
`replaced. This is not true. Baby teeth are very important. Babies need healthy teeth
`to chew food and learn to speak clearly. Children with brown, decayed teeth may feel
`upset about how they look. When baby teeth are not healthy, the permanent teeth
`can grow in crooked and crowded.
`
`Propping up a bottle can make baby’s teeth decay. When your baby starts to fall
`asleep, he or she doesn’t swallow so often. The liquid sits in the baby’s mouth, and the
`teeth are coated with food that helps germs rot the teeth. This decay is called baby
`bottle mouth.
`
`When decay starts, the teeth get white or brown spots. Then the teeth will start to
`rot away, which can be very painful for your baby. If your baby’s teeth have white or
`brown spots, take your baby to the dentist.
`
`What you can do instead of prop
`Relax and enjoy the times you feed your baby. Always hold and talk to your baby
`when feeding with a bottle. This way, as soon as your baby falls asleep, you can take
`the bottle out of your baby’s mouth. Then move your baby a little so that last food is
`swallowed.
`
`Don’t leave a bottle in your baby’s crib or play
`pen. If your baby needs something to suck
`on to fall asleep, use a pacifier. You could also
`comfort your child with a blanket or soft toy,
`rocking, singing, or playing music. Keep your
`baby’s hands free. Babies need to learn how to
`comfort themselves.
`
`Comfort your child with a
`blanket or stuffed toy,
`rocking, singing, or playing music.

`
`
`Holding while feeding is a special time
`When you hold your baby’s bottle, you feed your baby’s tummy and emotions.
`Holding helps your baby feel safe and loved. It is a special time when you can both
`relax and feel close.
