Hi there,
When I feed my little one her bottle, I angle it down so and keep it lower to the ground, about at my groin level. She can access it easily. As she drinks, I angle it more so that it is almost upright, with the nipple facing down. The problem is that as she is feeding, at any random time, she suddenly pushes up into the bottle (if that makes sense) and often the bottle will recoil backwards with the impact and fall to the ground as it slips from my hand. I tried using my stomach to brace the back of the bottle but when she butts me it makes me whoosh and almost fall and, well, it hurts! She is only one-month old now so I am not sure what to do about this because it will only get worse I think for me as she gets stronger.
Also, is there such a thing as the milk coming out too fast? It was taking a half-hour before for 3 pints and so I stretched the nipple opening as I would for a human baby bottle if the flow was too slow. Now it old takes her a few minutes and she sucks quickly.
Thanks!
