I love to sleep on my stomach but I've read that it can lead to plugged ducts and other issues. Is this something that I really need to be concerned about? DS is only 4 weeks, so I'm up every three hours anyway. Thanks!
I've slept on my stomach since birth with one kids, and I have never had a plugged duct or any issue. You can try it and if you get a plugged duct, you could switch.
I feed on one side at night and pump the other in the morning before I go to work. I've noticed that when I sleep on my stomach sometimes (when did will let me) the one side that gets pumped in the morning is tender and think it does plug some ducts. It seems to work itself out by the end of the day or sometimes the next day. I agree with pp try it out and see what happens. If you do get some plugged ducts your lo will probably resolve it within a day or two.
