The position that lets you rest while your baby feeds.
The Side-Lying Position Guide is your quick, expert made walkthrough of feeding lying down, side by side. Inside, I break down how to line up tummy to tummy with baby's nose level with your nipple, how to keep baby tipped toward you, how to offer the other breast, and when this position is especially helpful. This guide is free: add it to your cart, check out with your email, and it is delivered right away.

I made this guide for the 2 a.m. feeding, when you need the answer on your phone, not in a textbook. It walks you through the position in 8 short sections, with troubleshooting for when it still feels hard.
Perfect for
- Night feeds, when sitting up feels impossible
- Recovery after birth, including C-section
- Fast letdown or oversupply
- Moms who need to rest while baby feeds
- Babies who feed best in a quiet, dim room
What's inside
- What the side-lying position is
- Step by step positioning
- Why this position works
- Signs it is helping
- Quick troubleshooting, including a safe setup for sleepy feeds
- When to use side-lying
Side-lying, tummy to tummy, with nobody holding anybody up.
