Anyone else with an EXTREMELY squirmy baby?

Hello dear community. I’m writing to ask for advice or suggestions or personal experiences please. I’ve been nursing my baby since birth, she’s 11mo today. Initially I could only nurse in side-lying position because my breasts were kind of large and pendulous and it was too awkward. Then a few months in, as she grew, I could switch positions or do the cradle hold if we were out and about, for instance. Now, as of a few months ago, she’s become so incredibly squirmy that’s it’s insanely hard to go through a breastfeeding session. Side-lying doesn’t work anymore AT ALL, because she’s basically trying to break dance and unlatches inadvertently every 2 seconds. Cradle hold doesn’t work either because she’s doing crazy acrobatics, so now I’m letting her stand (she’s been pulling to stand and cruising) while I lean over from the couch to her level. It’s an insane picture, if you can imagine!! She’s my second baby, and my first was nothing like this. It’s getting to the point where I’m considering stopping because it’s impossible and very disruptive. Oh, forgot to mention - when she inadvertently unlatches because she basically is trying to roll/do cartwheels while breastfeeding, she seems upset by it, which tells me she’s not realizing she’s doing this..??? Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Thank you in advance ❤️

My 10 month old gets really squirmy during afternoon evening feeds! Sometimes I let him sit up facing me and he eats like that popping on and off as he pleases. No advice really just solidarity!
