Best position for Daddy to hold baby while bottle feeding ebm?

[etwahl]

Hi all. Just wanted to know if you could recommend the best positiong for daddy to feed Lauren a probably daily bottle of ebm?

We are using the Dr. Brown's bottles, so I assume her head has to be tilted enough to keep the nipple full of milk at all time.

My DH had the best luck when he would stand and hold Colin in the cradle hold. Don't know why it worked, but in the early days, standing really made the difference when DH was doing the feeding.

My DH would give Abbie a bottle of EBM at bedtime from about 4 weeks on and he generally would lay Abbie across his lap while sitting in the rocker and would lay her head on the arm rest of the rocker (we have a stuffed rocker in her nursery). Abbie weaned herself from BM a few weeks ago and so now we're on all bottles, all the time and this is still where I give her most of her bottles.
