Side lying is by far my favorite position to breastfeed ✨

It’s relaxing for both you and your babe! I especially cherished these moments as my kiddos got older bc it was the only time they would stay still and actually cuddle with me. This position usually bought me an extra hour in bed in the morning 🙌🏽😴It can feel best to try this position once breastfeeding is established and comfortable. If you are struggling with nipple pain…I recommend a seated position with pillows until you both get the hang of things.
H O W T O ✨Side-lying while you breastfeed….
-make sure you are in the middle of the bed, so baby is not close to the edge
-lay baby close to you, tummy to tummy so you are both on your side
-make sure baby’s chin is touching the breast so their head is tilted up…this way they can eat more comfortably AND they are looking up at you 🥹 how cute is that?!
-keep your arm above, I found it comfortable to rest my head on that arm.-and of course RELAXXXX 🤸🏼‍♀️✨✍️
