I had a chair next to my DDs bed.
I would put a nice big pillow under DS, and hold her hand while I breastfed.
Defintely worked, but my back often paid the price..

Hope someone can give you a better idea! hehe! xo

I still managed to lie down with her most of the time. DS was either asleep in the bassinette which I wheeled into the room, or he was snuggled up beside us.

I do the drive thing, it's the only way I can get DS to have a sleep during the day since we stopped BFing. It was a bit tricky timing it when DD was much smaller, as she wasn't overly happy in the car, so we'd often stop for feeds mid-way through the drive, or DS would end up not having a sleep because he didn't fall asleep before DD got too stressed out and we couldn't keep driving, but is much easier now. Just in case it ends up being your only option, I thought I'd let you know that it is doable, but can be a pain in the butt TBH, and works up a huge petrol bill LOL (we sometimes drive for an hour just to get him to sleep. Yes, he has sleep issues :facepalm. Definitely look for alternatives first
