Side Lying

Side lying is great for getting a bit of rest while your baby nurses or if you want to avoid sitting because of soreness. Place a pillow support behind your back as well as baby’s. You can use pillows between your knees if that feels comfortable as well. Roll the baby towards you “belly to belly”.
