Proper breastfeeding positions are essential for helping both you and your baby feel comfortable while nursing. To nurse lying down, lie on your side with your knees bent. If it feels more natural to straighten your legs, place a pillow behind your back to help you stay propped up.
Lay your baby down with her belly against yours. Hold her neck with your bottom arm, allowing her to tilt her head back. Her chin should be pressed into your breast with her nose free to breathe. This nursing position can be both efficient and comfortable with a little practice.
