Seems like she can't breathe..

[AK89]

My LO seems to crush her nose up against my boob when breastfeeding so she finds it hard to breathe.. Is this normal or is it something I'm doing wrong in terms of positioning? I've tried different positions but to no avail.. She does get the odd breath in obviously, but it seems like a struggle! Anyone else get this??

Sometimes. It's usually a positioning problem but if he's latched well and swallowing I just use my finger to hold my breast away from is nose.

I always had to hold my breasts out of the way.

Same here!

Yup, I hold down my breast so at least one of his nostrils is clear to breathe.

I've always had to hold my boob away from my LO's nose until they are old enough to hold their head properly. I'm a large C normally and I go up to a DD when pg/nursing. Since I've had weight gain/loss and I'm currently nursing my 3rd child, my bbs are pretty saggy now. Because of this, I've always had to hold my boob away from my baby's face. You just get used to it.
