Nurse! Your bottom arm might be most comfortable under your head. Roll your baby slightly more onto his back, using the rolled receiving blanket to keep him at the best angle, halfway between his side and his back. Adjust/flex your hips so you are supported rolled forward toward your baby comfortably. You’ll appreciate the pillow between your legs now. Shift your hips way back, and roll forward away from the back pillow. Your “bottom” arm is often most comfortable tucked up by your head, (though some people like to have it cradled around the baby). For women with very large/soft breasts, a rolled or folded washcloth under the breast can offer support and bring the breast to a good level for the baby to nurse. Nurse! You can use your “top” arm to position your baby and/or your breast.

Nurse on the bottom breast by rolling yourself slightly back onto the pillow behind you. Have your baby on his side, facing you, and use the rolled up receiving blanket behind him to keep him from rolling toward his back once he is latched on and sleepy – you could get sore if he slides down the nipple but keeps nursing.

Place one pillow under your head, one pillow between your legs, one pillow (preferably a body pillow) behind your back. You’ll need 3 pillows and a rolled up receiving blanket. You can nurse on BOTH SIDES lying down, without needing to roll over yourself and move baby! Here’s how:
