What's your LO's favorite nursing position?

DS loves the bedtime side lying. I wasn't too sure about it at first but now it is so cute the way he snuggles in and goes to sleep when he is done.

    We always do belly to belly. It's the most comfortable for both of us :)

    She really likes a sort of modified cradle where she's lying diagonally across my stomach, but her head is in the crook of my arm.

    When she was littler, it was clutch or nothing :)

    Left boob football. Right boob crossover. Anything else tears my nipples to shreds

    This is what we do :) I haven't tried side lying yet, I need to.

    Football hold. I feel like my boob is going to suffocate her any other way. I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

    Are you relaxing your shoulders, and leaning back slightly? That, plus tucking LO's legs and body tight into your torso will keep your boob out of her face, and also encourage her to angle her nose up and away from your boob so she can breathe.

    We like side lying best but with 2 it's impossible unless there's someone to bottle feed the other. So I mostly do two footballs so no one gets kicked in the head.

    Side cradle. Football is great but my letdown makes that less than comfy for her.

    LO doesn't seem to have a preference but I like side lying at night. It's comfortable for me and I can sleep during it! Also it's cute when he's done because he'll push the nip out of his mouth and snuggle up to my boob and use it as a pillow.

    Cradle when we're sitting up, side lying when we're sleeping.

    Basically just lay her across the Brest Friend pillow, with just a hand on my boob to help position it correctly. I wish we could do side lying at night but it really hurts my nips because we must have bad positioning and bad latch.

    That stinks. Side lying is soo relaxing for us. Maybe try positioning your LO higher or lower? If my LO is too low (towards my feet) it hurts like a mofo.

    We do mostly a modified cradle, tummy to tummy laid back in the recliner, during the day, and side lying at night. I have big suffocating boobs too, and what helps us is to always support underneath to relieve pressure on the chin so that little guy can tilt his head back easier and thus keeps the boob off of his nose.

    We do cradle, football, and side... My cousin is a ped and suggested using different holds throughout the day to save your nips, so far so good

    Classic cradle for us. We are boring. It's worked from the beginning so why mess with it? I've done side lying a few times, but it's not second nature to me and therefore I forget to do it.

    Did anyone see the picture of the woman doing an upside down yoga position while bf? I'm surprised that's not someone's favorite. I would link it but I'm busy bottle feeding using my cheek so I can mobile bump.
