For myself, I got into the habit of lying down so that my back (from side to side) was vertical, so I didn't have to use energy to keep from rolling one way or the other. Then I *lifted my lower breast and set it back down*, to get the kinks out. That's all I needed to do to get the nipple a baby cheek's distance off the mattress (I never rested the baby on my arm). Did others of us do the same? -- Diane Wiessinger, MS, IBCLC Ithaca, NY www.wiessinger.baka.com *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
