Does any of you with larger breasts manage the side lying position well? For me, it feels like whenever I am on my side, my lower boob just goes flat on the mattress and my little one is struggling to latch. Any tips for a big breasted mama?
FYI my baby is 1 month old

I have FF breasts and propped side lying is the best position for us. I prop myself with my pregnancy pillow so I don't get flat lower boob.

I have size H boobs and sudelying works best when I’m propped up on one pillow
Thank you all. That’s encouraging that you all manage.
and - how / where on your body do you prop yourself up?
haha I know right? 😂

I sit in my pregnancy pillow like a nest and have one side of it behind me
oh amazing, never would have thought of that. Will give it a try

How old is your LO? I'm F cup and at the beginning I found it difficult too and used to feed from top breast. As baby got bigger and better with her latch, she didn't mind bottom one, even if it lay flat.
Advantage of big boobs and bigger baby is that you almost can lay on your back and they'll latch 😂😂😂
thanks Lenka. He is 1 month old. When did you find it got better?

Around 3ish months.... That's when she started being way more efficient in eating and the latch was just automatic. It gets sooo much easier with time, just hang in there 🙃
thank you Lenka. That’s very encouraging
