DD is almost six months, EBF and thriving, healthy etc.
She won't feed much / at all unless lying down. I love lying down feeding but I think now we're about to move her and possibly sleep train her I need to be able to give her a proper 10 minute or longer feed in a chair. Currently she'll have a minute or two if she's hungry but will always wait (often all day) until we lie in bed to have a proper feed.
We got into bad habits as I developed oversupply and could only.manage to feed her lying down then we both got lazy and into the habit of it.
She also got into reverse cycling because I was going out every day therefore she wouldn't eat much during the day at all, so caught up at night. I've just had a fortnight of not going out much and succeeded in getting her back into daytime feeds, which has been great for her nighttime sleep, but it brought home to me that she won't feed properly unless lying down.
Anyone got any suggestions how to ease her back into chair feeds so I can start going out again? She's massive so I need positions my poor arms and back can maintain?
