Feeding on only 1 side for night feeds

My LO is now 19 weeks old and I'm breast feeding. She usually wakes twice or three times during the night and I would love to feed her lying down, but can only manage it on one side. Would that be okay for all 2/3 feeds? At the moment I do at least 1 feed sitting up so I can feed off the other side but find it harder to go to sleep.

I do this to avoid falling asleep with DD between DP and I. I make sure her last feed is on my left when we're going to bed then put her down on my right and she feeds from the right until we wake in the morning. Then she just about gets drowned for breakfast but manages ok! Having said that she's probably only feeding once, maybe twice in that time.

I do the same, for fear of ds being squashed by dp if he's between us! He's 10 weeks now - I feed from the left side at bedtime and morning, and then just from the right while lying down in the night. I do leak from the left one while feeding from the right in the night though, so I keep a muslin handy.
