Side lying nursing blocks his nostrils

[lkmiscnet]

What is the best way to re-position myself or my 5 mo old son when side lying nursing, as the way I am currently doing it, I end up blocking his nose and he sounds congested. He is typically positioned further down on the bed than I am.

I have my arm above her head...I always have to hold my breast down so she can breathe unless I pull a little further away and stretch my breast ...not very comfy

Try pulling the baby's feet towards you so he's laying at an angle with his head further away from you and his face sorta tilted up at your face a bit. This should pull his nose away from your breast enough for comfortable breathing.

Did that make sense?
