Some moms do this in bed, but I liked to nurse with a pillow on my nursery floor. For night-time feeding, this side-lying breastfeeding position was my favorite because I was just too tired to sit up. This position is also very useful when traveling on a plane.

Did you use this side-lying position and, if so, where? On your nursery floor? In bed? I’d love to hear from you in the comment section!

This is both me and my babys favorite nursing position. I usually do it in my bed but sometimes on my bedroom floor

That is EXACTLY what I did, I nursed on the floor of my baby’s room right next to mine with big pillows… it was a great way to nurse, rest but not fall asleep nursing all night… and it helped my back so much! It’s so nice you feel so close to the baby, too… good luck with your baby!
