For us going downstairs/upstairs is a bad idea, there are 4 generations in our house and my grandparents have the upstairs area where the lounge is and they never turn the lights off at night (in case they fall/trip) and the stairs squeak so when I did try it, she thought it was day time which = play time after a feed!!

When I was in the hospital to help my milk come in the taught me how to feed in bed, but I always find I am aware of myself and her so I don't roll on her although I have never tried to sleep with her in bed with me at home. But we fed like that in the beginning.

I find it's just a whole lot easier to keep her 'sleepy' at her night feed so she doesn't wake up, IYGWIM, she lets me know when she wants a feed and being in our room I just get her out of her bassinet and feed her with me in bed sitting up.

During the day it's open curtains and feeding in her room (where she has her play time etc.)

I feed my son in the lounge...sometimes when he does wake at night (and Im already in bed asleep) I will feed him in bed. otherwise it will be in the lounge with the lights off. and course during the day he gets fed out in the lounge..need to see what my 2 year old is doing as well

We originally had the feeding chair in DHs room, but recently moved it into our room. I use it in the evening to feed him, and its nice to sit on and rock if hes unsettled.

You will figure out where works for you and once the night feeds are over you might want to move it. I love my chair, it has really saved my back.
