Moms and babies need to be comfortable when breastfeeding. Find a position that works for you.

Cross Cradle: Good position for smaller babies.

Clutch or Football Hold: Good for women with large breasts.

Lying Down/Side-Lying Hold: Most comfortable for women who have had a difficult delivery or for night feeds.

Cradle Hold: Most common position for older babies.
