A. Yes it is absolutely safe .you may support baby's back by keeping some pillow. some people fear about ear infection but breast feeding while lying down doesn't cause any such infection.

Dr GhouseGuardian of 3 children3 years ago

A. no problem feeding the baby lying also Further it is advisable to consult your local doctor for appropriate examination of the baby physically and if there is need to do any investigations if required

Sonam PrasadMom of 2 children3 years ago

A. hi dear Infants should be breastfed on demand – that is as often as the child wants, day and night. No bottles, teats or pacifiers should be used. From the age of 6 months, children should begin eating safe and adequate complementary foods while continuing to breastfeed for up to 2 years and beyond.
