HOW TO POSITION BABY FOR BREASTFEEDING

Positioning your baby correctly for breastfeeding can make a big difference in comfort and effectiveness. Here are the key steps and tips to help you position your baby well: ⸻ 1. Get Comfortable • Sit in a relaxed, supported position — use pillows if needed. • Your back, arms, and feet should be well supported. ⸻ 2. Align Your Baby • Baby’s head, neck, and body should be in a straight line. • Baby’s nose should be level with your nipple. • Bring baby to your breast, not your breast to baby. ⸻ 3. Support Your Baby • Use your forearm or a pillow to support baby’s back and shoulders. • Baby’s chin should touch your breast, nose clear or just lightly brushing the breast. ⸻ 4. Encourage a Good Latch • Wait until baby opens their mouth wide (like a yawn). • Quickly bring baby to the breast so they take a big mouthful of breast (not just the nipple). • You should feel tugging, not pain. ⸻ Popular Positions Cradle Hold • Baby lies across your lap, head in the crook of your arm. Cross-Cradle Hold • Similar to cradle, but you support baby with the opposite arm to the breast you’re feeding from — good for new moms. Football Hold • Baby tucked under your arm like a football, good for C-sections or twins. Side-Lying Position • You and baby lie on your sides facing each other — great for resting. ⸻
