Getting too big to feed in bouncers..any suggestions?

I'm home by myself taking care of the LOs a lot. They aren't holding their own bottles yet and they are starting to get too large for their bouncers. Any suggestions as to how to feed them together? They are on the same feeding schedule -- I thought maybe I should use the boppies at this point until they start holding their own bottle.

 

What kind of high chairs do you have? We used this kind and I started feeding the boys in the reclined position at around 7 months.

 

Unfortunately ours don't recline. We have the Euro Chair.

 

I feed mine in their boppy pillows. I still lay them in there to eat now and they are holding their own bottles. Just put them on the couch and sit in between them.

 

Boppies and high chairs are a good idea. You can also try infant carriers. GL!

 

I fed mine in the stroller. We only have a small step into our house so I usually just rolled the stroller inside without folding it up and kept it set up inside the house.

 

My LO's are 4 months old and I've always fed them in the boppy pillows. It works great for me.

 

I've just recently been feeding them at the same time. Always have done it separetely up until about a week and a half ago. Rose started showing interest in holding her own bottle and can hold it, but doesn't really know she has to tip it back.

Mine are almost too big for their bouncy as well. It looks like they're going to tip it over when they lean.. scares me sometimes.

Anyhoo. We keep their carseats in the house [it'd be waay too crammed in the car for DH - we only have one.. a coupe]. I began putting Rose in her carseat and keep it reclined back a little and place a towel under her bottle [to tip it back a little for her]. and I put Alyssa next her in the other carseat and hold her bottle for her. It's worked out great for us so far.

 

I use one of those pillows with the arms that stick out that you can uses as an adult to prop yourself up. It works great with feeding them and I prop them both up in the corners on the armrests.

 

I'd recommend a reclining high chair that your LOs can grow into. GL.

 

We've always found the boppies to be helpful (still do) and have also used high chairs and infant carriers for bottle feeding. Good luck!

 

I am a SAHM so I always fed the boys on my own as well. Sometimes, I would put them in their boppies, take the back pillows off the couch-and give them bottles that way. If they weren't holding the bottles yet-I would prop them up with pillows/blankets, whatever. And as crazy as this sounds...I used the bouncy seats for feeding them-well after they were 1! :lol: They never really tried to get out of them-and I was always there. I don't know how big your babies are and if they still fit, etc. My boys just had their 15th month(at 16 months) checkup, and they were 21/23 lbs.

 

I use the boppies for bottle feeding and high chairs for food feeding.

Boppy pillows all the way!

I just recently had to start doing the night time routine by myself and the boppy's are
the only reason I've been able to do it with no problems.

 

Mine are starting to get to big for their bouncies...but I use my bouncies throughout the day every day...for feeding, lounging, etc... I keep them in there while I'm bathing one so I know the other is safe and secure. I have highchairs too but I prefer to use their bouncers for now...pure laziness on my part
