I second the side-lying nursing position. I have big boobs, and found that lying in bed on the nursing side gave my babies the best position for latching on and keeping their little noses clear.
An advantage to expressing and getting Alex used to taking a bottle, is that you will be able to leave her with a sitter and get out on your own for a couple of hours. You probably don't want to spend a minute away from her now. But at some point you and your husband will benefit from going out on an adults-only date, even if just two hours to get dinner and talk quietly. If you can leave a bottle of milk with the sitter, you'll feel a lot better about leaving Alex with the sitter!
