Breastfeeding in sidelying- safe or not
Can I breastfeed my one month old baby in side lying position. I had c sec. Elders say it can cause infection in baby ear and thus position is not good for first 1.5-2 months.
Please advise if it is safe or not as I feel relief from too much sitting and feel relived in feeding baby while lying down.
