Breastfeeding
You can breastfeed your baby in many different
positions. You will probably begin by trying the common holds that you have seen
or read about. Then, after you become more confident, you will find the
positions that are the most comfortable and work the best for you and your baby.
Some breastfeeding positions you can try include:
The Laid-Back Nursing Position
The Cradle Hold
The Cross-Cradle Hold
The Football Hold
The Side-Lying Position
It's also a good idea to alternate positions. Using different holds will allow
the baby to more effectively drain the different areas of your breasts. This
will help prevent plugged ducts and some of the other common problems of
breastfeeding.
