At her young age it is better to get her used to feeding in your arms. She will bond a lot better with you and there are risks such as choking from spitting up, ear infections from the fluids draining back, and teeth rot at later age.
We have a daughter that we are adopting right now. She was with a foster family until she was 10 months old and they never held her while she drank a bottle because they said she liked it that way. Well we wanted to make sure she bonded with us so spent the first month or so struggling with her while feeding her in our arms in a rocking chair. She is now 20 months and she loves her time with her parents being rocked while drinking her bottle and being put to bed.

you must have one very skilled baby at two months old because i never heard of a two month old that could hold a bottle. and it is never good to give a baby a bottle in the crib it will rot there teeth when they come in if you give them a bottle in the crib.

It's really best not to feed babies when they are lying flat. There are actual medical studies that show increased risks of ear infections and reflux (spitting up or vomitting) when babies are fed laying flat. It is best for them to be held "semi-upright" - which is around 30 degrees of angle, give or take.
And propping the bottle up is never recommended. Hope this was helpful.

I wouldn't recommend it.
One, it's too likely for her to choke if she's not supervised.
Two, lying flat on her back can allow the milk or furmula to run back through the eustacian tubes from her mouth to her inner ear, potentially causing an inner ear infection.

Everyone is going to say something different! It is your baby and you know it best. All babies are different in their needs and what they like and dont like. You do what you feel you are both comfortable with. Advice is good but you are the mother and you should do what you feel is best.

If it's not in the middle of the night and you are watching her. She's so small right now if she got choked she wouldn't be able to roll or sit up and it could kill her.
During the say if you are watching her it's fine. Just wouldn't do it at night.

It will cause allot of gas. When your baby gets teeth he/she may get teeth rot from falling asleep with a bottle.

lying down while drinking makes them more susceptible to ear infections.

It could form a very bad habit and as she gets older, she could develope what is known as 'bottle rot'.
