Can a baby get more ear infections if they are placed on there back?

Is a Baby prone to more ear infections if you lie them down flat on there back to drink a bottel?

Babies should not be laid down with a bottle ever. They could choke, spit-up or throw-up and choke on that...not to mention they do need burped.

My kids never had ear infections...and I never stick q-tips in their ears either...my doctor told me to just wipe their ears out when I see wax and never stick anything in their ears and I never have. And none of my three have ever had an ear infection...can't argue with success!!

Yes, Ive been told many times to level my son when feeding him.

Yes! My pediatrician said to always hold your baby when feeding him so the milk does not gather in the ear. But some kids are just more prone to getting ear infections, we tried everything that was recommended and still had to "tube him" at 10 months.
