I found the first few weeks to be rather exhausting with co-sleeping and had the same problem as you, that DS1 wanted to nurse almost every time DS2 was nursing. In the early weeks it is harder at night, I think, because the newborn isn't always the greatest at latching and I couldn't lay down while nursing both until about 6 weeks. Until that time, I would prop myself up in the corner with a bunch of pillows so it was more like I was reclining and have DS1 sleep semi-reclined, and didn't worry about him lying down flat. If you do decide to continue to co-sleep, I am living proof that it will get better and I believe it has helped foster a bond between the entire family to tandem nurse and co-sleep Wish I could just make it go away for you, but I can offer consolation because I've been there and know what you're going through! (And we all sleep on a Queen-sized bed!)
