@etant I think maybe we should practice during the day when things are less fraught.

@etant Does she stay pressed up against you on her side? I thought maybe that would work as long as we’re touching but she still doesn’t like it :(

@etant I have! I can’t figure it out. I’m already a bad sleeper (pre baby), so it’s not really a good set up. I’m so uncomfortable staying in one position, and I get so cold. Side lying nursing seems great in theory, but she will fall asleep after nursing, then wake up approximately 5 minutes...

@atlanta It’s definitely weird how much they prepare you for pregnancy and labor but not taking care of a baby! I think most people feel the way you do. I knew it would be hard but not this hard. My husband and I were talking about how even the relatively new parents we know seem to have...
