Couple of questions: Day and Night boobs, Feeding lying down.

First, I'm not worried about this but I just found it quite strange and just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this.

Anyway, ds2 in the last couple of day's has nominated my left breast for daytime and right breast for night time. It sounds really silly saying it. If I try to put him on the right breast during the day he fusses and frets and pulls and scratches until I put him on the left breast and vice versa at night.

Is my boy just strange? Grin

Feeding lying down: Has anyone found it harder to do as they get older? Once I got the hang of it, it was great but as he's getting bigger I'm finding it more difficult to get us both in a position we are comfy in and end up with a sore back or giving in and sitting up to feed him. Anyone get any tips? At the moment we are both on our sides and I stick a pillow behind his back to stop him rolling but, I don't know really, he just doesn't seem to be able to latch on properly like he used to without me twisting myself in all sorts of ways.

Thanks.

My DD had favourite boobs for different times of the day, though it went in phases so you're no alone.

Not sure about laying down feeding, I only did it when she was still little so not sure about when they get bigger. I'm sure someonme will be along to help though.
