feeding on the go suggestions

[Anonymous]

The only positioning that seems to work when feeding Tyler is his infant seat. Holding him just does not work. He is 18 lbs – very long and very fidgity. He always spit and has terrible reflux when I hold him to feed a bottle.

Anyone who is bottle feeding and using an infant seat to feed in I would appreciate suggestions on how you position to feed when you are out. It is not always possible to drag an infant seat with me when I am out. Car seat does not work at all – in fact I need to wait an hour after a feed wherever I am before I put him in the seat because his reflux is bad in it. We just bought a new Britax convertible car seat to try to improve this but there was only a mild improvement so far.

I am considering trying to feed him in his front facing carrier but I am not sure that I can get the bottle to drain far enough if he is straight up ( I guess I can lean back really far and look like I am having a seizure!! )

I would appreciate suggestions! Thanks

What about his stroller? I usually hold Marisa when bottle feeding but
she has eaten in her stroller when out and also once or twice while in
the car in her Britax Roundabout.

How about a bouncy seat? Is he too big for that now?

We use a bouncy / infant seat at home but sometimes it is hard to travel with it. You can’t really drag it in the mall with you.

The other issue is that is about to outgrow it. He is starting to sit up himself and is starting to sit up in it. He refluxes like crazy in his high chair. It does’t really make sense but he does.

Fed him in the stroller today at the mall and it seemed to go OK. WE will see

i sit my dd on my lap facing forward & feed her like that. i can adjust the angle by leaning back or slouching to get something comfy for her. i also do her “out & about” feeding using a thin 4oz bottleso that it keeps the nipple full while she’s so upright, not sure what type of bottle your using & if that would be possible.

What brand and type is the thin 4 oz bottle that you are using?

[Anonymous]

we actually use nuby. they are an inexpesive bottle & the nipple isn’t as narrow as a reg thin & wider than a wide. it’s about 1/2 way in the middle & she’s done great on it.
