🍼 Side-Lying Bottle Feeding: The Most Supportive Position You’re Not Using - YET!

If your baby struggles with coordination, gets overwhelmed by the flow, or you're just trying to mimic optimal feeding more closely, sidelying feeds can be a game changer!

• Supports the entire body for postural stability
• Limits downward pressure on the tongue and jaw that happens in upright feeds
• Helps baby coordinate suck–swallow–breathe safely
• Protects against overfeeding by allowing baby to pause, slow down, or stop

✅ Ideal pace: about 5 minutes per ounce
✅ Cue-based feeding: lets baby lead instead of pushing the bottle

Babies aren’t robots, their needs shift from day to day. This position gives them the stability and control to communicate those needs clearly (and safely).

📌 Save this for your next bottle feed
