feeding in lying down is one of best position if u can manage the latch and if u are conscious enough not to go off to sleep. problem is tired body if u can sleep over baby and choke baby. <br>
keep baby lil elevated with head on your elbow so baby can feed easily <br>
doctors are against the position due to risk of sids<br>
but every mother choses their comfort <br>
be happy; and comfortable when u breastfeed . whichever position u feed.

I started feeding in lying down position from 40tj day and I still do, unless and until baby has discomfort there is nothing to worry about, there are moms who breastfeeding for 3 plus years and they all follow this method.. Make sure the baby's head is on the pillow or your hand, and gently pat the baby after the feed.

At this age, I would not suggest. As Neha mentioned. You may feel tired. Ensure you rest when baby <u>rests</u>

I think by feeding in lying position there are chances of baby to have more gas as they cannot latch properly. You can do that occasionally though
