Breastfeeding baby In sleeping position

2020-07-23 18:33:12
I went on a c section delivery and my son is 4 months old. Due to heavy back pain, I occasionally feed my baby in the laying down position especially during night.. Is that fine? Will it cause any problem to my baby?

Hello, we do not recomend feeding in sleeping position just like we cannot drink water in sleeping position. You can express ur milk in katori and feed the child with spoon in case ur not able to sit and feed.
