Milk Maid Question...

If you use MM bottle holders, how are your babies positioned? I tried using it in a bouncy seat (lying almost flat) and they kept falling or moving around. What have you found to be the best position and what other "tools" have you used to sit your babies in while using the MM?

Thanks!!!

Jen, would you provide a link to the product? I am curious to see what it is. If I see it, I might have ideas for you.... don't know what it is!

 

I usually feed them on the couch on either side of me in their boppies. I put a receiving blanket underneath (folded up). Sometimes they knock the prop over.

 

Here is a link!!

Thanks

I have 2 of them and LOVE THEM! I don't use them all the time, but when I do put the boys in their carrier/car seats. I do have to put a blanket across their lap since the MM isn't shaped perfectly but it does work pretty well (and they aren't getting all hot and sweaty like when I used a few blankets or towels) That said, they are moving around alot more now and do tend to knock them out occassionally but they are also starting to hold onto the bottle or sides of the MM and I think they may be working toward holding bottle on their own (can't wait!!!)

 

Thanks!
One more question...Where do you put the towel? Under the MM? I will try the carseats today...I would love a "double feed" today!

Yes the towel (or receiving blanket) is just tossed across their lap and sit the MM on it (IMO it helps to keep it from slipping down- maybe they should put rubber stoppers on the bottom of the MM!?!
Double feeds are great- saves hours in the day
