Positioning Help?

Ariel • 🤵👰 Mrs. MGR 5 January 2019 🤱 Mommy to MJR 2 October 2019 and ALMR October 2023 🤱

I could use some positioning advice. The only position we've ever gotten to work is cradle hold. Football never agreed with us, cross cradle never worked because of my giant boobs and short arms, side laying is uncomfortable and she just screams the whole time, and when I try to have her sit upright in my lap to nurse my nipples are in her belly button. She is signaling that she wants to nurse, but doesn't seem to want to lay in my lap to do so. She's detoxing from dairy proteins she's intolerant to, so I wouldn't be surprised if her belly hurts though she doesn't seem windy.

She won't take a bottle and she started rejecting pacifiers at 3 months. She'll be 6 months on April 2.

Any suggestions?
