A member asked:
Why can i breastfeed my baby laying flat but not give her the bottle while shes laying flat? isnt the same concept
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it is: And it best not to breast feed lying down flat...Should be propped up a little. The position allows the fluid to run into the middle ear and can cause infections. Breast milk less so as it is full of antibodies...You are correct the concept is the same.
