too lying down

If your baby is too lying down while you are giving the bottle, it will swallow more air. Sit it more upright.

I put too and more because I wanted to convey the degree to which the baby was upright or lying down. It might not be natural but how can I convey that?
If your baby is too lying down while you are giving the bottle, it will swallow more air. Sit the baby more upright.

Is this sentence natural? If not how would I have to say it?
I had put too and more because I wanted to convey the degree to which the baby was upright or lying down.

Thank you for your help

I would say: If your baby is lying down flat while you are feeding it with a bottle, it will swallow more air. It is better to sit the baby upright.

Did you still want comment on the baby & bottle sentence? No, "too" is not needed in the new sentence. However, if you want to describe the baby lying at an angle (rather than flat as I suggested) you could say something like:
If your baby is resting at an angle when you feed it, it will swallow more air. Bring the baby fully upright before you give it the bottle.
