As your baby grows older and you become comfortable with breastfeeding in many different positions, you may find nighttime feedings work best lying on your side in bed. Another consideration for your nursing station is a nursing pillow. My Brest Friend feeding pillow is ideal to use at every feeding since it not only supports your lower back and arms, but it raises the baby up to the level of your breasts for ideal positioning. Remember, it is important to bring your baby to your breast, not your breast to the baby. The My Brest Friend is also just the right firmness to encourage your baby to stay awake for feeding while the Velcro strap keeps the pillow in place for the duration of the feeding.
Many women also use a footstool or a large telephone book to raise their feet and their lap.
Experiment to see what works for you. A small table can also be useful to keep a glass of water readily available at every feeding and to have a radio or CD player nearby to provide relaxing music. Having a phone nearby can help prevent you from getting up during a feeding but you may choose to turn your phone off during feeding times. Crying is actually the last sign of hunger. Wash your hands before every feeding and after every diaper change.
