A member asked:
Can milk go into the ears of an infant if you prop them up while drinking a bottle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Babies who are propped up while feeding shouldn't get milk into the ears (gravity will pull the milk down). I would venture to say that most babies are fed at least partially propped up and do just fine!
