Feeding an infant while they are lying down can increase the risk of choking or aspiration, as the baby's airway may not be as clear compared to an upright position. Additionally, it can lead to ear infections, as milk may flow back into the eustachian tubes. It's generally recommended to feed infants in a more upright position to promote safety and proper digestion.
