Expecting at least another week or two? We'll see how it goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-590343 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 16:58:32 +0000 Weagle 590343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't until 6 or 7 months pp. It's so nice now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-590339 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 16:56:49 +0000 BlueWolverine 590339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can do a modified version. Kind of halfsies. Baby A sleeps about 4.5 hours at the longest right now, so I don't get too engorged. I was so ready to start sleeping on my stomach after she was born and was a bit sad to see that wasn't going to happen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-590331 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 16:47:43 +0000 prettylizy 590331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't when she was still nursing a lot, but now that were down to 2x day I can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-590306 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 16:29:25 +0000 hellobeeboston 590306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: ha! I do this with my leg too and get sore hips - so sad! Haha.... I also have to sleep with breast pads, definitely leak a lot at night.</p> <p>@Beebug: yikes!! Painful! Are you totally dried up now? It was just bad a few days right?</p> <p>Thanks all!! Guess the stomach sleeping will have to wait a little longer.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-589967 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 11:32:13 +0000 Beebug 589967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had been (LO 4 months!), but day four quitting BFing, there might not be a worse kind of torture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-589950 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 11:13:15 +0000 rawrasaur 589950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately, it hurts too much. I do a modified stomach sleep so that I'm not applying pressure to my chest, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-589949 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 11:12:22 +0000 PrincessBaby 589949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get leaky bc H STTN and if on my tummy I wake up to wet blobs on my shirt...</p> <p>I used to be a stomach sleeper pre-preg...And it still feels good except for leakage...And bc I sleep with my leg bent out to the side, it also made my hips sore the next day! I guess bc I didn't do it for so long! And also getting old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-589943 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 10:58:44 +0000 autumnlove 589943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I wasn't able to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-589940 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 10:56:12 +0000 mrsjazz 589940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't slept on my stomach since the end of my first trimester, so October 2011. I miss it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-589912 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 10:29:02 +0000 lemondrop 589912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I've never been a fan of stomach sleeping to begin with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-589909 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 10:27:36 +0000 sorrycharlie 589909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't because I'm terrified of mastitis again. I got clogged ducts really easily until I started sleeping on my back. I had huge oversupply until I stopped pumping in addition to nursing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-589887 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 10:14:50 +0000 betsyboop 589887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely could not. Even if I was on my side for 10 minutes, I would get clogged ducts in the side that was closer to the bed. It was so annoying! I think it depends on your milk production, and I had somewhat of an oversupply issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-589883 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 10:12:07 +0000 Sammyfab 589883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do all the time and have been for a long time! I think there's only been 2-3 times I've leaked but I rarely get engorged or leak. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-589880 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 10:09:24 +0000 regberadaisy 589880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank god I'm a back sleeper! I would be afraid of leakage! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-589867 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 09:56:21 +0000 matador84 589867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston 6 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-589861 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 09:45:25 +0000 mamimami 589861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a few hours I can :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-589854 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 09:36:13 +0000 owlmom 589854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been able to since LO was around 8 months old, but before that it wasn't comfortable for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-mamas-can-you-sleep-on-your-stomach#post-589844 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 09:24:51 +0000 pl0508 589844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do !

I have noticed I can do it for a little while right after he eats, and if I fall aeep I wake up with sharp pains in my boobs!

If you BF can you sleep on your belly??? I thought when LO started sttn that I might be able too, but I can't! It hurts. :( </p> <p>I feel like I also read somewhere that you could get mastitis from the pressure, yikes! </p>
