The only thing that bothers me with propping a bottle is the fact that it can lead to cronic ear infections. When I was still with my mom and dad before grandma took me my mom always propped my bottle. I have hearing loss and significant ear problems. She did not do that with my brother but did with my sister and she has always had problems with her ears, she did it with her baby who now has tubes.
Kiernan actually started holding her bottle at about 5 months old, I still tried to hold her and at night rock her and feed her but she is very "I'll do it myself" and always has been. I never left her in bed by herself until she was 6 months old with a bottle though. I've been told and read that after 6 months if they can hold thier own you are fine to put them down with it. She just would not tolerate being held and rocked to sleep anymore. She's Miss Independent.
