    have you tried a triangle pillow ? i found that helped me feed, though in cradle hold, but i sometimes didn't even have to hold? ITMS. i just attached bub and let the pillow do the work!
    have you tried lying down too? not sure how practical it would be during the day with the other munchkins, but perhaps early morning and evening/night?
    hope that helps
    and good work on the feeding!

    I still do the football hold and bibs is now 8 months old! I just could never master the cradle hold and I am well endowed in the boobie department so I find the football hold just so much easier. Makes feeding in public a bit awkward though.

    Yeah I've tried a pillow but cos my boobs float around my belly now, she ends up higher than they are. Plus there's the suffocation problem I have cos it seems to flop over her face and she cant breathe lol

    I use a triangle pillow at the moment and lie her on that when feeding.

    Haven't tried lying down, that seems a little scary to me. Lol
