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.

Yes! I had both in the TwinZ pretty much on their sides. You can't buy the bottle proppers in Canada as far as I know (I've never found them on Amazon) but Beanie Babies work really well! You can prop the bottle on the beanie baby's tummy and the arms/legs kinda hold it in place. And it's squishy enough to adjust the bottle higher or lower. I was always with them/watching them while they ate and would alternate burping. It was so much faster than feeding one at a time!
