(@) bfing positions to help spitup?

[bhnumbers]

If there is, I never found it. Zack basically spit up all over me after almost every nursing session. Once he was able to hold his head up, I'd try to maneuver him into a sitting position on the nursing pillow to burp him so he'd spit up away from me, but that only worked about half the time. I only had 3 good nursing bras and at any given time they had spit up on them :-( Except for immediately after my shower, I'm pretty sure I smell like puke all the time. Sexy...

Position didn't matter for me, but I found that just draining one boob (instead of doing the 15 mins on each side) led to virtually no spit ups.

I vaguely remember reading that spit up can be a sign of a hind milk/ foremilk imbalance so this would make sense.

If I burp mid feeding the spit up is less. He also spits up a few minutes after he's done eating so not usually on me.

I also found that only draining one side helps like a pp mentioned.
