That's exactly how I slept with both of mine and the way my daughter slept with my grandchildren.  I have pictures!  :-)

>People who have never slept with a mother breastfeeding her baby in bed don't know what it is like and how it differs from any other bed sharing. I've taken to asking women at meetings and they all describe lying on their side facing the baby with one arm either under the baby's head (to bring the baby up to breast height) or above and around the baby. Knees are brought up and the upper arm extends over the baby. Mother in effect creates a protective cage around her baby.

>It has been so long since I saw James McKenna's film of mothers sleeping with infants that I don't remember their position. Anyone? What did his research show?
