Breastfeeding Positions

Proper positioning of both mother and baby when breastfeeding, and in particular the attachment of the baby to the breast, enables your baby to get enough breastmilk and can help to prevent sore nipples and insufficient milk supply. Make sure you are comfortable: either sitting up or lying in bed, or sitting in your favourite chair. Many mothers find it helpful to create a flat lap in the early days, either by elevating the feet or sitting on a pillow. Some mothers raise their babies to breast height, while others use the natural nurturing approach of holding their babies diagonally across their bodies.
