bottle-feeders: where do your twins drink?

If you bottle feed your twins, where do you do it? I have been feeding them at the same time in their bouncers, but one is almost falling out (and too reclined) and the other is squirming around. Should I move to their feeding seats? They are not holding their own bottles yet and I want to keep bottle feeding them at the same time.
Thanks!

I feed my 6 month old boys in their high chairs. We have the Aquarium High Chairs and they have 3 different recline settings to them. They eat solids sitting up and then I recline back one setting to do bottles

ditto

 

I also do it in the high chairs...I just recline them a little!

We do the same, except we use those Fischer Price Booster seats that Recline in 3 positions. They are available at Target and Wal-Mart. I also bought some Prop Holders off ebay to keep one feeding while I burp the other.

 

I HIGHLY recommend trying Podee bottles, esp if your girls are sitting on their own. If they're not, still use the bottles in their high chairs... MY DD bottle feeds (DS won't take a bottle, only BF) and she was getting so squirmy with me holding her to give a bottle. A twin mom friend of mine let me borrow one of hers, and it's the only thing we use now! It's great, plus I think it just makes them feel independent! You can get them at babies r us...a little pricey but SO worth it! My DD is even drinking about 5 more ounces a day since we stated using it last week...I was starting to worry she wasn't drinking enough until this.

I had my girls on the floor propped on their boppies and used the Little Wonders Bottle Bundles to hold the bottles, for the feedings when I was alone. I started this around 4 months and this is the way we did it up until getting rid of bottles 2 weeks ago.

 

i bottle feed both of mine in the boppy. they squirm a little bit but they're generally pretty good. though mine are only 11 weeks

 

My guys are too long for their bouncies now, but even when they were younger I just couldn't get them to eat this way. We were dealing with reflux, fussiness, limp babies - it just never worked. I have to feed them alone at least three time a day and they're not able to wait for each other any more (I used to feed them one after the other but now they go crazy if they see their brother drinking!). Evan is a pretty good eater so I put him in a boppie with a rolled-up receiving blanket under his bottle. I sit beside him, feeding James in my lap. James is a fussy, wiggler so I can't prop him to drink. If James is having a decent feeding I used my left hand to hold his bottle and my right to hold Evan's or just put a hand on Evan so he doesn't feel alone. James usually finishes before Evan so I hold Evan for the last 1/2 or 1/4 of his bottle. I wish I could hold them both, but it's not possible!

 

Since they were born and still to this day I feed them in their bouncies. Yes they are probably too big for them but that's the only thing they are used for. They were squirming quite a bit for while there and I would just strap them in but now they seem to be more interested in the bottle at that time and don't squirm as much. However as soon as one of my guys is done he's off playing.
