How old?: How old is your daughter? If greater than 6 months, your teaching her to cry for the bottle. Talk to your doctor about ways to avoid that trap.

Confusing statement: If you let a baby lay in bed drinking on a bottle you increase the risk of ear infections & dental problems. If you feed her in your arms & she falls asleep eating she probably didn't need the full feed. Laying her down awake helps her learn to self settle without using the bottle as a crutch.
