Hi all

I was wondering if you can help me with the following questions:

1. When i lay down to :boob: I need to put a cushion behind my back for support....is this common or are there more comfortable positions? (there is no space in bed for DH at the moment :haha: )

2. The LO kicks on my legs when laying down and the "pops" off the breast. I tried to make my legs straight, but find it very uncomfortable. Any suggestions that would help?

Thanks cheers

Lisbe

Lil miss does this. Usually you have to straighten your legs so they can't.... Using a cushion for your back is common.. I had to do it.

Other positions I use... I prop lil miss on a pillow next to me with my arm under her head so she is closer to my breast or I allow her to lie directly on top of me, tummy to tummy and she tilts her head to one side depending on which breast she is feeding from... that one I use a lot.
