It is generally considered a good position. However, it's essential to ensure that the baby's head and neck are adequately supported and that they can breathe comfortably.
Using a bottle occasionally if you feel your milk supply is not sufficient is okay, but it's important to prioritize breastfeeding directly from the breast as much as possible, as it helps with bonding and stimulates milk production.
Feeding the baby in a slightly elevated or slant position using a pillow can be okay if it helps with your baby's comfort and digestion. However, it's crucial to supervise them closely to prevent any potential risks, such as suffocation or choking.
If you have any concerns or questions about your baby's feeding positions, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional or a lactation consultant who can provide personalized advice and guidance based on your specific situation.
