Hi, I'm Dr. Cathy. Thanks for joining us at Educated Pregnancy. We get a lot of questions about how to nurse a baby while side-lying, and it's just as simple as this: lay down, let the baby get comfortable, they'll find it, they'll nurse, they'll let go when they're ready, they'll fall asleep, they'll wake back up, and they'll nurse on the other side. Typically, you don't even have to move, the baby will do all the work. So enjoy breastfeeding your baby, and we look forward to sharing more tips with you right here on educatedpregnancy.com. How's your milkies? Good.
