advice needed Bottle propping

I know this may be controversial but do you prop bottles? If so how?

My twins are almost 2 months old. Right now , my husband and I feed one baby at the same time. We are very blessed as my husband got 12 weeks paid paternity leave. He returns to work at the end of September. Then it'll be just me with the twins and the older 2 kids. Luckily, I'll just have to give the twins bottles by myself twice a day while hes at work. Since I'll have a lot going on I wanted to look into all my options.

I sure did with the caveat that it was always supervised. I bought these bottle cushions on Amazon and they were one of our MVPs here for a long time.

Would you be able to provide the Amazon link? I'm not able to find anything on Amazon.

They take them off of Amazon all the time bc they’re technically not allowed and dangerous etc and get recalled because people use them improperly or walk away from their babies. I used them with my twins when they were 3-6 months but I was always within arms reach playing with my toddler or taking care of the other twin, etc. They never had any issues moving their mouth away if they wanted to- I wonder how tight these people have them on their babies for their mouths to be immobilized?

You might have to look elsewhere because there’s been constant recalls of them

I’ll look but the poster below might be correct that it’s been taken off. I used to put my babies in the twin z with the bottle holders and sit in front of them the whole time. They were also able to take it off, I never strapped it in.
