\nSit comfortably and place a pillow at your side for support.<\/p>\n
Tuck your baby under your arm on the same side as the breast you are using.<\/p>\n
The baby\u2019s legs should point toward your back, like holding a football.<\/p>\n
Support the baby\u2019s neck and shoulders with your hand.<\/p>\n
Keep the baby\u2019s head level with your breast, not pushed forward.<\/p>\n
Hold your breast with your other hand to help guide the nipple.<\/p>\n
Line the baby\u2019s nose up with your nipple before latching.<\/p>\n
Gently bring the baby to the breast when the mouth opens wide.<\/p>\n
Make sure the baby\u2019s chin touches the breast and the latch feels comfortable.<\/p>\n
This position keeps pressure off your belly, making it ideal after a C-section.
