strike 1

Strike 1 for the overambitious and under-read papa:

How can I make sure my baby is drinking comfortably?
Like so much with babies, you'll need to listen and observe. If you hear a lot of noisy sucking sounds while she drinks, she may be taking in too much air. To help your baby swallow less air, hold her at a 45-degree angle. Also take care to tilt the bottle so that the nipple and neck are always filled with formula.

Never prop a bottle. Besides not providing you or the baby with time for bonding and snuggling, it can cause the baby to choke. Bottle-feeding, like breastfeeding, can be a wonderful time for nurturing your baby by holding her close.
