Yo, I forgot to mention that it is pretty much a myth that nursing is easy and works well for everybody..Some women have it easy, true, but most people I know had to work for it. It is, nonetheless, definitely worth all the nerves. It is different for everybody, some kids prefer things certain way, some others, some parents bend themselves backwards, some have limits..Do not feel bad you are going through hardships. And I second the laying down position and cosleeping, that saved me and our 12x a day nursing schedule. One has to be so so careful but somehow I didn't have a trouble tuning in. HTH.
