Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Propping the bottle increases the likelihood of choking and aspiration if regurgitation occurs. Colic can occur in any infant. Dental caries becomes a problem when milk stays on the gums for a long period of time. This may cause a buildup of bacteria that will alter the growing teeth buds. However, this is not the most serious consequence. Ear infections can occur when the warm formula runs into the ear and bacterial growth occurs.
