Wow, I have never felt so judged on here for something I didn't even do! I tried to prop bottles, but just couldn't get for it to work, guess it was the type of bottles we used. Sorry, guess I'm the world's laziest mother or whatever, but when I was feeding both at the same time, and my arms were tired, I wish I could have propped one! I used to put one baby on either side of me, against a leg, and hold their bottles when I needed to feed them at the same time. It wasn't all loving and bonding, but it got the job done. I usually tried to hold one off with a binky while the other ate. So, not sure which is the more unloving thing, that I wasn't tenderly cradling them while feeding, or that one had to wait while I fed the other.

As for holding bottles, another thing my two never did, but I wished they would. Not sure what's wrong with that. Not for every feeding, but if they can hold their bottle, what's the big deal? OK, the 5-month old scenario might have annoyed me, but for like an 11-12 month old, I don't see a problem.
