I thought it was tummy vs back sleeping, not whether baby was on the sofa, a
bed, the floor, or anywhere else. Lots of us have bf'd baby while lying
down on a sofa, but there's the 'common sense' factor: size of mom, size of
baby, softness of sofa, depth of sofa seating area, ie to they both "fit"?

have enough wiggle room if mom's on the outside edge?
This is also assuming an unimpaired mother. I agree with the smoking as
being the major factor here.
