Position - lying

 

This is a useful position for night feeds. Both you and your baby lie on your side facing each other with your baby tucked in to your tummy and her nose level with your nipple. Rest your head, arm and shoulder on some pillows. With your other arm guide your baby to your breast.

For the second breast, add extra pillows under your baby to raise her up or turn over.

Don’t forget that there are lots of available resources for breastfeeding information including National Childbirth Trust and the Department of Health.
