I love sidelying. The only time I sway is bedtime nursing session is cradle hold with boppy in our glider

Cradle Hold! But that's because it's the only one I've mastered... But I like it because Xander's big enough that I just plop him on the boppy and put his face in the general vicinity of my boob and he goes to town and I can be hands-free. I surf the web or read a book while he's eating!

We still nurse every time in the cradle hold, 99.9% using the boppy. She just is so comfy and I can be almost hands-free like @Adira:.
Though there have been some funny times like where she was crazy fussy and we were in the kitchen, on the way out the door. So I sat her on the edge of the kitchen counter, lifted my shirt and she sat there and nursed real quick. My DH came in and was like, "Well that's one way to do it!". Hah.

Sidelying is my favorite! I always fall asleep though if it's at night or if I'm just tired.

Now that I have a huge belly, the only way for her to nurse is laying across my lap, with her body underneath my belly, and her legs kind of wrapped around so that her body makes a half-moon position, formed around my bump.

I do cross-cradle on the right and football on the left. Old habits die hard

I love side lying because I can be lazy and get some extra sleep in. Unfortunately, it gives me clog ducts on the sides. No bueno! So cradle hold it is.

@lindseykaye: @Adira: Haha cradle hold for the reasons you guys said. I love being able to plop her in place on the boppy and I mayyyy sit there with my phone on her belly sometimes surfing away
I dislike sidelying becuase my boobs are too big + the nipple shield = her getting smothered. No bueno. I wish it worked because I looove lying down! Haha!

Sidelying, although I do love how P acts when she's standing & nursing... I love how she leans alongside the couch & crosses her legs/feet while putting both arms around my boob so she can rest her head. lol... pretty sure laying down & falling asleep will always win out though!

Cross-cradle and football. Depending on her mood, sometimes regular cradle will do.

@Jennimac: I was just wondering how you were doing :)))
My fav is cradle or sidelying.
