You'll get used to it for sure. And slowly your nursing relationship will get stronger and easier. Trust me, soon enough he will be popping on and off the breast as he pleases throughout the night! Sidelying will work eventually, I'm sure.
Sorry you've been overwhelmed. I know it is really hard to have any type of logical train of thought when you have children, ESPECIALLY when said child(ren) are in your presence. I think its natures way - to block out any thoughts that interfere with our instincts to care for our child(ren) and nourish/protect them 24/7. Its hard to fight!
I'm sure you'll find a reasonable balance soon enough.
