I didn't use anything in particular. I did have 2 breastfeeding pillows: (1) the boppy (an okay pillow); and (2) the balboa nursing pillow (a FABULOUS pillow) that I would use and I set up my lap top on a coffee table right next to me. I could type one-handed and use my computer a little. I was completely unplugged during my maternity leave, though, so the only thing I was really doing was reading blogs and checking Facebook. Not sure what to recommend if you have serious work that needs to be done.

If you're not planning to use a laptop stand a lot for times other than while breastfeeding, you might want to wait and see if you really need or want it. My first kid had major feeding problems and I couldn't go hands-free, and my 7-month-old has never taken longer than 10 minutes anyway, so it hasn't been worth it to try and do anything. Sorry, that's kind of a non-answer! That said, Overstock.com does have a variety of options.

I do much of my work (part time from home) nursing. I have a plain chair with arms (to rest my holding arm on) put my feet up a little (on a rubbermaid bin at the momemt) and type with one hand (computer is on a shelf/desk). Now my kids were a little older, they often nurse sitting facing me with their heads resting a little on one arm.

I just used my normal set up. I had a chair with arms, and a breastfeeding pillow. I put the baby in a cradle hold, and then when she was all set up and happy, I would move the hand supporting her to the keyboard. The way the chair and pillow were set up, the table helped act as an extra support. Took a few weeks to find a really comfortable position that was also really supportive and allowed use of both of my hands. But once I did, I was able to do all the stuff I needed to at the computer while my baby would nurse to sleep/for comfort.

I am actually nursing a sleeping baby as I type this! Lay like the woman in the photo above. I am currently on the sofa. Place laptop beside you. One arm under baby's head, one arm over baby's belly. Type. My only issue is with the laptop getting pretty warm, as it's sitting right on the leather sofa. I've also been on the look-out for a low stand that I can set the laptop on, right on the sofa beside me, but still comfortably type. I've seen a few at Best Buy that would work, but need to detach the baby to go shopping. ;)

The AirDesk might work (http://www.airdesks.com).

I use an Ikea Dave table by my nursing chair. This has gotten me through 3 years of breastfeeding...I am a one-handed typing pro! I think they are $20 or so. I like keeping my laptop on a hard table because it can stay cool better.

I don't know, but this is a HUGE problem for me. I end up propping my laptop on the arm of the couch or on the couch cushion on the other side and turning sideways--not ergonomic at all. My wife (we're a same sex couple, both breastfeeding) has a desktop and has had zero problems using her desktop, regular desk chair, and just a small pillow under the baby. I've tried that with my laptop and the kitchen table (I've never had a desk), and it's okay, but hard to maneuver b/c our kitchen chairs are a) wobbly and b) get stuck on the rug and I can't maneuver at all. Her desk chair is on wheels so she can adjust as needed/as the baby moves. Typing is still one-handed but she got the Dragon speaking program so she can talk into the computer when she needs to.
We're moving out of this apartment in June and have the place on the market now, so I don't want to buy any furniture, but if I could I would buy something like http://www.amazon.com/Butler-Specialty-7025111-Mobile-Table/dp/B003XKSSO4 or the air desk.

My baby nursed what felt like non-stop. I could not have survived without the MyBrestFriend Pillow. I'd sit on the couch, park the baby on the pillow and have both my hands free. I typed on my laptop and read multiple books this way!

I have a TV tray that is the perfect height. I scooch it as close to my armchair as it can get, narrow end toward me, with a leg on either side. I usually have to type one handed while nursing, but it's better than nothing.

I used my iPad or my husband's iPod. Not a lot of typing, but lots of reading of the times and books. Not that I can remember any of it now...

Janet Lansbury's article "There's A Person On Your Breast - Don't Take The Intimacy Out Of Breastfeeding" offers some food for thought: http://www.janetlansbury.com/2010/10/theres-a-person-on-your-breast-dont-take-the-intimacy-out-of-breastfeeding/

My son liked eye contact, usually babies like that while nursing...

I work from home with my son nursing / napping in a wrap. Invest in some high quality carriers instead. I found ring slings and wraps the best for working at the computer. (My 9 month old is napping now while I am *working*.)

I could never have used a computer while nursing. First my baby had lots of trouble feeding for the first 3 months she would throw up all her feeding...not sure you would want that on your lap top....believe me it is projectile...and not just dribble. And now she only feeds for max 10 minutes, it doesn't really seem worth it for all the effort of setting up a lap top near me.
I would wait and see how it goes, if you see that your baby is a great nurser and nurses for long periods of time then look into it. I know my sister used her iPad while nursing...

Everyone tells you to "sleep when the baby sleeps," but I flipped it...I napped when the baby nursed (about 45 minutes) and worked when the baby napped (about 2 hours). I sat up in a glider with a boppy pillow while nursing. If I wasn't tired (yeah, right) I caught up on reading...no ipad or kindle back then, but that would have made one-handed reading so much easier. Also, the boppy pillow works better if you add long ties or velcro to the ends and tie/fasten it around your back. It'll stay put better.

Check out http://rtaproducts.com/home.htm! Lots of great ergonomic solutions!

I am a little surprised at how many people don't take issue with the baby bathing in a strong electromagnetic field during nursing, the light shining in the baby's face, the heat from the laptop...

People, using a laptop is not good FOR YOU, so would you expose a little baby to it? Come on, you can put the computer aside while you are nursing your child! And if you don't have your intimate moments with your child while nursing, when DO you?

By the way, I work from home on a computer, and nursing while using a laptop still feels wrong to me. Whatever happened to caring more for your baby than for your work?

I thought reading while in the side position like shown in the picture of this post is a no-no. Your eyes are at unequal distance from the material be it a book or from a chunk of tech.

I had good luck with the Alve and the Skruvsta. I'd sit cross-legged, wedge a pillow under the baby and could breastfeed hands-free and work on the laptop. After a while I found it was the Skruvsta that really made the difference, not the laptop table, so I moved the chair into the kitchen and could work at the table there. The Skruvsta is good because it gives you a place to lean your legs against so you can get baby up as high as possible. Good luck!
