The sun will shine on us again

Babies cannot stop eating, so the risk of overeating and vomiting is much higher for them, even when closely monitored (when I was a baby even if my mom fed me for 10 minutes it was too much and I would vomit as a result). This baby will keep eating until they vomit, and she is on her back with a bottle in her mouth, so she can’t even vomit properly and will run a much higher risk of asphyxiating. 

If my spouse did this I would seriously reconsider the marriage. And I wouldn’t leave them alone with the baby or any babies after them (actually I wouldn’t have any more children with them unless it was adopting an older child that did not need help eating) until they were old enough to communicate their needs and had the ability to eat unassisted (so basically elementary school). 

Don’t do this. You are putting your child at risk. 

A newborn or young infant can be forced to drink far more than their tiny stomach can hold. Cue the puking.

Never prop bottles. Pay attention to baby’s cues. Look up paced bottle feeding. Respect natural feeding rhythms.

It’s why medical professionals now recommend paced feeding (to prevent over feeding, vomiting and in the case of combination feeding - breast refusal).

Being held by another human and soothed by the rhythm of their breath, heartbeat, and movement is essential to creating future emotional stability and mental health. It isn’t important to be The Mother or even the one who’s lactating to provide that kind of closeness—you just have to put in the work and hold the damn baby.

(And when schools say they’re teaching “what it’s like to be a parent” they’re usually not teaching useful parenting skills, just trying to scare kids into not having sex.)

But for what routes there are, most boys are totally excluded–many girls begin babysitting strangers’ children to earn an extra income as young as ten, a practice which boys have typically been considered too dangerous to participate in. When public schools do teach classes about childcare, they’re generally aimed at teen moms, not all students in general. A lot of parent education and bonding programs are specifically aimed at “moms” and act like cats with boots on when dads show up. 

This is something I care about a lot because I care about preventing child abuse, and the no 1 way to do that is to educate parents about basic child care, like “It’s not good to just prop a baby up with a bottle all the time” or “Yes they WILL scream for no fucking reason for the first three months, learn to live with it” or “3-to-5-year-olds don’t lie to your face because they’re bad kids, they’re just learning how reality works”.
