[quote=Anonymous]Well I do appreciate all the stay-at-home moms chiming in I really think that we need to separate stay-at-home moms who are x amount of months from pregnancy and childbirth from a woman who's 7 weeks postpartum. She still supposed to be healing and taking things relatively easily she's on maternity leave which is different than being a stay-at-home mother. 
I also want to add that being a stay-at-home mother is a choice that you are making with all that comes with it and you should be having discussions with your spouse about what that means and how the labor and division will work in your family when you are staying at home. 
She is not a stay-at-home mother none of the stay home mother stuff applies here.

Also OP if you hadn't had a lactation consultant come to your house and help you with positions it might be a good idea. While babies do have preferred positions a lot of times preferred positions can indicate tension within the body and or other issues.  I am the side lying nursing poster who suggested it and I have 36F boobs not pregnant. Large boobs can nurse in lots of positions. This fear of smothering is also indicative to me that maybe the positioning of the latch is not great because the nose should be above the breast and essentially visible. Yes it can smoosh but again I think a LC may be helpful. Also adding that if you plan to nurse for a long time that your body will not appreciate only being able to nurse in one position

I can also see that you are already falling into the trap of your free time and your self-care time being about managing some of the remaining things of the household as you mentioned that you're free time is either spent cooking doing things around the house nursing or spending time as a family or couple. Showering is not self-care it's hygiene. Sleeping is not self care it is a need for human existence. 
Your husband is continually asking you to give while the only thing that he's giving up is an hour of his normal two and a half hour workouts.
