Tell about the body pillow arrangement that Kym shared with us. I'll
reprint it.
_______________________________________
Terriann Shell has used a "body pillow" (very long pillow - about 5
feet) to help position mom and babies. Kay Hoover and I have found it
to work very well with several families - including my 7 month old twins
and I). Form the pillow into a horseshoe. Put a bed pillow under
the curved part of the horseshoe. Mom lays down with head on the curve
and rests her arms on the sides of the pillow. The babies then lay down
on their sides in mom's arms. The trio can nurse and sleep all night
long!
