Hi TS, I’m not sure of your story (why you are co sleeping now having not co slept before) but the more you do it the more you just get used to it. It’s like sleeping in a bed that’s not yours, or with a new pillow, or by yourself if your partner’s away, if anything to do with your sleeping situation is different then it feels weird and uncomfortable. The more you do it, the more you’ll get used to it and the more comfortable it will be.

As for lying down BFing, I have to hold my breast up with one of my hands so the nipple is in the right position for attachment. I also make sure my child is lying on their side with their chin up and arms down. That seems to work for me.

And just FWIW we are really random co sleepers in this house. Some nights we all sleep all night in our own beds, some nights we all play musical beds and there are kids in and out and all over the place. And we’re even (sort of) used to that now too.
