Switching arms during feedings..?

[PeaceLoveBaby]

I know I've read about doing it..and the nurses told me to do it at the hospital, but how many of you actually do?

I'll admit that I don't..It just feels so unnatural on my left arm. I've tried and me and baby are both pretty uncomfy..I dunno why I can't make it work!

iv never been told to switch arms? I wouldnt anyway xx

Yeah, I never heard of it with my first LO but it seems to be pushed a little more now. They say it helps babys sight development to come about more equally...something like that lol

Never heard of it. I used to feed Omar on my right arm when he was tiny, then we started to feed him on a pillow when he was older & moving alot during feeding xx

I tired it for about a week, as Ava would start falling asleep.
So after winding her I would swap arms, didn't really work though!

 

[PeaceLoveBaby]

Yeah, I don't like it! It's not even common knowledge or pushed that much, so it must not be TOO important lol

i haven't heard of it either. I have never tried it. I can imagine it would be quite strange to hold her in the other arm. xx
