Laid-back breastfeeding – You lean back and let the baby lie on your chest naturally
Lean back comfortably on a bed or chair with good support.
Place your baby tummy-down on your chest.
Let the baby’s body rest fully against you.
Support the baby’s neck, shoulders, and bottom gently with your hands.
Allow the baby to use their natural reflexes to find the breast.
Keep the baby’s head turned slightly to one side for easy breathing.
The baby’s chin should touch the breast during feeding.
Relax your shoulders and arms while the baby feeds.
Watch for calm sucking and swallowing movements.
This position helps with a deep latch and is comfortable for both mother and baby.
