I was never able to sleep on my stomach during the time that I was breastfeeding. My boobs just felt uncomfortable so I slept mostly on my back! I haven't slept on my stomach since April 2011...maybe I won't like it anymore!

I can when I first go to sleep. A few hours later, not so much!

I can in the first few hours, but after that it gets uncomfortable.

Nope its way too uncomfortable! I'm either a back or side sleeper now, I was a stomach sleeper pre-pregnancy though.

Probably after I've fed/pumped. I've never been a stomach sleeper though.

Yup. I place pillows strategically if I'm full.

I really haven't tried. I remember reading something about pressure on your chest messing with your supply, and I don't want to do anything to decrease my supply!

Crap, if I breastfeed Baby 2 for a year and get pregnant after that ...I won't be able to sleep in my stomach for years! Haha

I sleep on my side anyway - but I don't do anything to put pressure on the boobs to avoid any possible blocked ducts. I'm so paranoid now!

i did once and i leaked all over - it overflowed my pads. so embarrassing and awful - THESE are the moments that no one tells you about when talking about motherhood.

I never even considered sleeping on my stomach...ouch! I only sleep on my back. When I sleep on my side I tend to get plugged ducts.

Yep, I love sleeping on my stomach. I've never had a plugged duct either (*knocks on wood*).
