Where do you physically feed your twins?

My kiddos are 9 1/2 months, and have been holding their own bottles for 2 months now. I have been putting them in bouncy seats for bottles, then the high chair 1-2 hours later for their solid / finger foods. They are getting way too big for the bouncy seats however, yet they can't/won't hold the bottle upright enough in the high chair. I have titled the seat back, but it still doesn't seem to work.
So, I was wondering where you all put your kids to have their bottle? Maybe I just need to keep having them figure out how to do it in the high chair. I just love the bouncy seats because they can watch me clean the bathroom, or make the bed, or clean the shower, etc. while they drink. Once we go 100% to high chairs........... I am bummed.
thanks for your advice!

I laid mine on a blanket on the floor, with their heads on a regular bed pillow.

 

Mine are not doing that yet but I'd like to follow this thread to get ideas for when the time comes.

 

When mine were that age I remember propping them in the boppy pillow for support. It worked great for us! I didn't give them bottles in the high chair, only cups... but that's just me.

 

They fed themselves their bottles in their boppies or their high chairs.

 

Hi Kathleen!
I put them on their boppies on the floor. We have some playmats on the floor (they aren't mobile yet) so I plop them down there. If we are somewhere outside of home, it's on the floor on a blanket.

 

O i can't wait till mine can hold there own bottles. It must be so great. DS is trying and likes to put it in his mouth but cant seem to hold it up high enough to get anything out of it. so it should be soon, i would guess.

 

We just throw couch pillows on the floor to prop their heads, and they do great!

 

We had these. We loved them. I did not have bouncy seats. They can sit in these until they are 40lbs. When my girls were bigger and mobile they loved that they had their own chairs.

 

My girls used the Podee Hands-Free bottle from 2.5 months to 1 year old so that changed how things worked for us. At 10 months, they often ate while they played. They'd sit there with their toys and have the nipple in their mouths drinking. A couple times a day, I'd hold them while they ate or they'd eat in the stroller.

Whey they were younger, I often fed them on the couch with one in my arms and the other laying next to my leg.

 

We use boppies as well, these pillows are lifesavers.They are so great!

 

Mine didn't decide to hold their own bottles until 10 months, and then we went off bottles at 13 months. Also, I was hardly ever home alone with them (WOHM), so I rarely had to feed them both by myself.

But on those nights when DH worked late and I put them to bed by myself, I would put Sarah flat on her back on the floor with her bottle, and hold Amy. I know they say you're not supposed to let them eat flat on their backs, but it was only once in a while, and she did so much better that way. She would lie still and just drink, whereas if I tried to sit or prop her up, she was all over the place and milk dripped everywhere.

And even at 12 months, Amy would really only hold her own bottle if she was on someone's lap. So that probably doesn't help you at all!

Do you have booster seats? We use them instead of high chairs, and they might be nice for you because they recline. They are about $35 each, but I got mine for $5 each at the twins' club sale.

 

I know it is bad but they go to bed with their bottles.

 

I put down one of our couch pillows and a boppy on top for each one. It gives them just the height they need to drink their bottles and do it comfortably without being too flat down. I do it in the living room where they can watch their morning show while they drink and I can get my coffee and wake the heck up!!
