BF lying down?

kateqpr · Apr 5th, 2009, 17:10 PM

I've just discovered i can do this position!!!! So now at night i lie on my side with poppy facing me and happily feeding. It's brilliant!! No more sat in the nursery chair trying to keep my eyes open and listening to the radio!!

Anyone else a fan of this position? I actually feel asleep like that the other morning, and woke up with a sleeping, full happy baby facing me. Lovely.

I love it, took me a while to sort out how to do it right but it's great in the mornings now and I kick DP out so we've got room to do it properly and he gets breakfast while I feed!

I used to feed Poppy this way a lot when she was very little - meant we got an extra hour or so in bed in the morning! I could doze while she was feeding which was great. Had to stop in the end, just because she tended to posset a lot after her feeds and if she wasn't winded she would just end up being sick while lying on her back/side which wasn't very nice for her, so that put a stop to that!

I love feeding like this - Jess wakes up about 6 and gets into bed with me for the breakfast feed where we doze together until we have to get up with her brother at 7.30. So lush and she loves it too

Yup. This is how I do Poppy's night feed and morning feed. It's lovely and realxing for both of us. And I do occasionally drop off during night feeds, which is fine by me!

Stick a muslin down your top. It's great for catching all those drips.
