Football Hold Nursing

I have found cradling my baby like a foot ball when they are at ther littlest is the easiest. Heres what to do.

1- place a boppy or other support pillow so that it hits you at waist level.

2- place baby back down ontop of the pillow. 

3-may sure baby is comfy. Check to make sure feet are not too bunch up etc

4- using the smae arm as the breast you are going to nurse on, place your arm to the outside of baby's body and place your hand under baby's head

5- with you free hand cup your breast.

6- bring baby to the breast, and make sure you have a clean latch.

7- add support under your hand if needed. 

A few notes. 

My breast always just laid on top of babies cheast. Depending on the sizes of your breasts this may or may not be the case. Do not stress about the baby being uncomfortable under your breast. It is a nice warm secure spot. Keep babys chin stright make sure they dont have to bend their neck too much. Try to rest your back as much as possible on whatever you are sitting on. Add support as needed.
