Mona ambegaonkar breastfeeding positions

To breastfeed successfully, it doesn't really matter where or how you sit or lie back. What is important is that you are comfortable and can bring your baby to your breast easily. This will help you to get your latching-on technique right.

How do I start breastfeeding?

Sit or lie back so that your back is supported and you feel comfortable.

Raise your feet or your knees, if you need to. If you're sitting on a chair, sofa or the edge of your bed, you could use a small stool under your feet.

If you are sitting up, you could use a pillow to take the weightof your baby at first, so your forearms aren't doing all the work.

If you're using a laid-back position, use cushions or pillows to support your back and shoulders. Once you're comfortable, place your baby's tummy down on your chest and abdomen, and bring your knees up, so that your baby has a surface to push on with his feet. Y
