jules, i think propping usually entails like taking a blanket or something and positioning the bottle on it so that the baby can suck out of the bottle without your holding the bottle (or holding the baby).
i didn't do it either.
now that i think about it, though, i hadn't realized the earache angle....that would make me not do it. i do see the "need" for some people though to do it on occasion (e.g., my SIL had four kids under the age of 6 at some point....we always joke that the first was like the "christ child" and by the time the third one came along, she was rocking unattended in rocking chairs and drinking lysol! they all survived!).
