🍼 Side-Lying Bottle Feeding: The Most Supportive Position You’re Not Using - YET!

If your baby struggles with coordination, gets overwhelmed by the flow, or you're just trying to mimic optimal feeding more closely, sidelying feeds can be a game changer!

• Supports the entire body for postural stability
• Limits downward pressure on the tongue and jaw that happens in upright feeds
• Helps baby coordinate suck–swallow–breathe safely
• Protects against overfeeding by allowing baby to pause, slow down, or stop

✅ Ideal pace: about 5 minutes per ounce

Babies aren’t robots, their needs shift from day to day. This position gives them the stability and control to communicate those needs clearly (and safely).
