@colicprotocol: 3 Bottle Feeding Positions for Colic: Only 1 Actually Prevents Gas (The One Nobody Shows You) If your formula-fed baby won't stop crying after every feed, the bottle angle is the problem, not the formula. Most parents use horizontal feeding which increases air swallowing and causes colic-level gas pain in newborns. This evidence-based paced feeding guide shows the exact 45-degree bottle position, slow-flow teat size, and 15-minute feed duration that reduces gas intake by up to 50%. Save this and use it at the next feed.
