Would you side eye this?

[rjamz]

Am I doing something very bad that I don't realize. Sometimes the only way J will eat his bottle is in the stroller, but he won't hold it himself, so I kind of prop it up on his little toy thing. When he's done he turns his head away, so it's not forcing him to eat. I just got a hard core side eye from a passing mom.

You gotta do what you gotta do! I'm sure she's done something that you would side-eye. Moms are bitches

[livinreality]

Yes I would side eye it but You need to do what you need to do. They make products that prop bottles so you are not alone.

I think I'd only side eye bottle propping with itty bitty babies. I feel babies around this age have enough control to move their head or swat the bottle away when they're done so I don't see the harm. But maybe I'm missing something.

I wouldn't side eye that at this age, knowing he probably is capable of holding the bottle and just doesn't want to.

I hope it is the angle but that bottle looks HUGE!

I have side-eyed a baby in a stroller with a bottle held up by something, but I'm not sure why, I think the time I saw it the baby was facing out and the parents weren't watching.

[rjamz]

Haha. Yeah, it's the angle. It's a normal 8 oz Dr Brown's bottle. I'm glad I don't seem to be doing something terrible. I know we aren't supposed to prop when they're smaller, but at the age I figured it wasn't such a problem since he moves it away when he doesn't want anymore

[charlielove]

Yeah Charlotte will only take those Dr. Brown bottles, they are HUGE compared to other wider 9 oz. bottles. And a PITA to clean.

We do things that other people would side-eye. I got a really mean and judg-ey lecture from my friends when we told them we still sleep w/ M and he doesn't sleep through the night over dinner once. F that. I would never do that to someone - I feel like all kids are different and you do what you need to do. You are not hurting him and he'll probably get over this phase of not holding the bottle but you gotta feed the kid somehow!

[lolaburns]

Lol whatever works. Side eye her back.

I don't see this as side eye worthy.

Down with side-eyeing! Fucking A. I wish someone would push MY ass around in a stroller with a cool drink propped up for me.

Me too! But I want a fun bright colored straw instead.

This for me too

I totally wouldn't side eye a 9 month old baby with a propped bottle.. I think I would SE a newborn. Anyway just cause he's lazy, haha, doesn't mean he'll choke or whatever. My DS1 was the LAZIEST eater, he loved food but couldn't be bothered feeding himself so he'd sit there like a prince waiting for the food to arrive in his open mouth and I'm sure we got tons of SE out in public hand-feeding our 1 year old.

I LOL'd hard over the new acronym SE and prince waiting for food to arrive in his open mouth. Hahaha.

No side-eye from me, since I regularly use toys to help out. She holds it herself, but doesn't tip it enough and will sit there and suck air forever if I let her.

This. I've had to prop bottles up for Lexi on long car rides when she was in melt down mode. Somebody will always side eye you for something.

My friend (who's 6 y/o has behavioral problems) side-eyed me for comforting E when she was freaking out in the motn on new years eve. Apparently, telling her it's okay is coddling.

Maybe she was side-eyeing because she was jealous that she didn't think of doing the same thing, haha.
