GORGEOUS pic of Miranda Kerr breastfeeding her new baby.....

Made me smile, cute baby and she looks fab. (not make up free tho......)

YY - I am just on autopilot, if I see bfing, I check the latch.

I feed like that all the time? If she fed from the left one then we would all see her right one and the world would be in complete outrage?

I feed like that sometimes too, if one sides done and I don't want to move I just swing the other one over .

Lol peppa, I thought that too!

I think it's probably posed, but I don't care because it's a lovely picture. I discovered feeding from the top breast quite recently and it's great as it saves swapping sides in the middle of the night.

gaelic, you just managed to phrase what I was trying to get at far more eloquently. damn.

Well now I'm learning, gonna try my new moves tonight.....
Wasnt trying to detract from it, it is a lovely pic

And there's me thinking "damn, she already said it 15 mins ago with more pith"

I love this picture! I so wish I had some pictures of me bf. I also wish I could feed from the top boob but I've never managed it yet! Is there a technique? Or does it depend on how bendy the norks in question are?

Lovely, but whats the big thing about no pain relief? Why is that a badge of honour?

Lol, that would be telling. Let's just say they're not what they were... I've only managed it since she was around 5 months and more bendy herself!

It isn't the most comfortable, but when you're in bed with a motion sensitive nuclear device it's worth the effort!

Top-boob feeding isn't hard but I think you have to have a certain amount of 'give' in your boobs. I did this in bed with DS1 when he was older (over 1) but have just started trying it with DS2 who is 4 weeks and if he's hungry enough, he'll go for it! You need to lean your top shouler in, and maybe guide the breast towards the open mouth.

can you snooze like this or will you fall on top of babe?

Gah. Just looked at The Mirror link. Actuslly, I think I dislike its straightforward laddishness less than the curtain-twiching, fake-adulatory, prurient tone of the DM article.

And I just spent a minute looking at the photo with a big soppy grin on my face. Yes, of course it's posed - the natural make-up, the carefully arranged top, the baby feeding/sleeping against the top boob so as not to flash a nipple , the smile to camera/husband. But it's still a delightful photo and really celebrates breastfeeding and cuddling your newborn. Makes me happy just to look at it!

If I ever get as far as qualifying as a BFC, I'll use this photo in my teaching.

Now - I couldn't when DS was tiny but I have been able to for ages now. You'll know in yourself whether you feel comfortable relaxing into sleep or whether you need to stay more alert.

I don't think it matters what size your boobs are. Mine were A cups before pregnancy/breastfeeding (Bs now but still, not huge) and I've always been able to feed lying down, from both sides. It's a very useful skill

I dont think I would have been comfortable going into a proper sleep at night like that when they were newborn. Now DS2 (5 months) is a wriggly little sod I am more than happy

Gaelic 'when you're in bed with a motion sensitive nuclear device it's worth the effort' - Now, now, thats what got you into this situation

I'd like to add this link from the Mirror also. Much nicer than the 3am piece. Haven't read the DM one.

Well tried top boob move but felt really odd so reverted to jumping over baby in bed to swap sides in night! Oh well, also I guess she's my no 3 so old habits die hard etc.

Hey the smileys are all mixed up!

Lol peppa, I read that back and realised how it sounded!

That was a blush, in case anyone else is seeing a biscuit.

You jump over baby NOw? I roll her over me.

Ah but if you roll the baby over the top, you run the risk of a mid-flight posset

Her wrist looks very uncomfortable.

Ooh, that's never happened to me. You watch, now you've said it...
