Which breastfeeding position(s) do you use?

Question

I like to lay side by side w/ my baby. It really helps at night too. She sleeps with me (in a sleeper) and when she starts to wake up I just start feeding her without having to move her or myself too much... and she falls right back to sleep. During the day I usually do the cradle position w/ her on top of the Boppy or a pillow.

Which position(s) do you like to use?

Answer 1

I use the cross over hold with her on the boppy. or if we are in public I use the cradle hold with my nursing shawl. We learned early on she did not like the football hold. Early in the morning or late at night i will lay on my side to feed her.

Answer 2

If I'm at home I use the laying down position all day. Its much more relaxing for me and baby and he seems to be more interested in eating. If I'm out and he wants to eat then its just the regular cradle hold.

Answer 3

I use the same as you and laying down for us is a life saver too....it was best thing I learned to do with her....but I don't like a bobby pillow they are to big and uncomfortable.....

Answer 4

for her morning feedings I lay in the bed with her and for the rest of her feedings we do cross cradle on her boppy.

Answer 5

ii used to do the football hold, it was so comfy and my son was huge so it was the easiest

Answer 6

I do the same as you.
