Breastfeeding Position: Side-Lying Nursing

Jessica and Baby Y demonstrate how to breastfeed in bed in the side-lying position.

Remember, if you’re planning to sleep with your baby, make sure you have a safe cosleeping environment: Use a firm mattress with no pillow top, no heavy blankets or pillows, and don’t sleep with your baby if you or your partner are deep sleepers or are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications.
