But as a childless person, I was apalled and basically thought this action would only happen in the hands of a caregiver. Seeing a mom, who obviously loves her child do this, knocked me off my outside-looking in high horse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lowers-head-in-shame#post-920239 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 15:55:55 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 920239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If a daycare does it: it's wrong. It is their one and only job to watch and take care of the kids.<br /> But a mother? I somehow (and I might be wrong) is a 24/7 job plus cooking cleaning working and life in general...so sometimes, yeah, prop a bottle if you want to. It's a "at your own discretion" type thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lowers-head-in-shame#post-920229 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 15:53:29 +0000 Mrsbells 920229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I think that was me that posted about this, because my LO was being fed at daycare in a swing with the bottle propped into her mouth! I think what you just described is better though because in my LO's situation the swing was in motion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lowers-head-in-shame#post-920225 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 15:52:54 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 920225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't recommend it, but especially unsupervised. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lowers-head-in-shame#post-920222 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 15:50:41 +0000 MamaMoose 920222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still don't think you're wrong. It's one thing for a mother to make this choice for her own child. It's another thing for a paid caregiver to take the easy way out in feeding a child she is in charge of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lowers-head-in-shame#post-920152 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 15:22:44 +0000 twinmama 920152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If child is attended, I don't think it really matters. But I've never done it. Not a fan of any kind of unattended feeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lowers-head-in-shame#post-920065 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:54:06 +0000 googly-eyes 920065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's a huge deal either way.</p> <p>As a side note I followed recommendations not to bottle prop and my just about ten month old refuses to hold her own bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lowers-head-in-shame#post-920043 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:47:30 +0000 DillonLion 920043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha I used to be so annoyed when I found out they were doing this with my LO but now she can hold her own bottle like a champ which means I can hand one to her and finish cooking our dinner or do whatever else I was in the middle of when she got fussy. It has totally opened up my world. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lowers-head-in-shame#post-920040 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:47:10 +0000 aprk 920040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm confused. How does this make you wrong just bc someone else did it too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lowers-head-in-shame#post-920032 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:43:39 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 920032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A while back a bee posted about her LOs' daycare propping bottles up for her to feed instead of someone holding her. I was all up in arms over it and even called it unloving care. Well today one of my clients propped a bottle for her 2 month old using his blankets in his pnp. That mama of four ate her lunch while her LO drank his. I lowered my head in shame. No judgment. I was wrong.</p> <p>Do you admit when you are wrong? </p>
