Side-lying nursing position

In this seventh video from La Leche League Canada’s Newborn Nursing Video Collection, we introduce the side-lying nursing position, a comfortable and restful way to feed your baby, especially during night feeds or recovery after birth.

Side-lying allows you and your baby to rest while breastfeeding, making it a favourite position for many parents during those early days and long nights.

This position supports rest, bonding, and responsive feeding—while helping you tune into your baby’s natural rhythms.
