I never really felt comfortable with any seated breastfeeding positions and I always nursed LO in the side lying position. I probably can't use it as much when my new baby arrives...I will need to stay...

Cradle hold - usually in a reclined position - either laying back on the couch or in bed... We sit up more sometimes but I have a strong letdown so laying back seems to help LO not choke on too much...

Sitting up straight with cross cradle. I am really not able to get a hang of the lying down position at all, especially since I have a forceul let down and at any minute milk may start spraying...

I really like the laid back style (they lay essentially stomach to stomach and I leaned back). We also did cross cradle and football depending on what was happening.
