Holding and positioning your baby
  • Sit comfortably with your back supported and feet raised to bring knees up, use a pillow to bring the baby up to the level of your breast.

  • Position your baby so that his whole body is turned to face your breast (tummy to tummy).

  • Support the baby's back with your forearm and his neck and shoulders with your hand. Allow his head to tilt back slightly by applying pressure between the shoulders.
