I almost stopped breastfeeding until I learned THIS position

When you are a new mother there can be a lot of things that cause new forms of stress that you may not have had before. Of course for many new mothers breast feeding can be one of those new things that causes you a lot of stress. there are so many positions and it can be difficult to know if your baby is getting enough. Maybe your baby will not latch correctly or at all. everyone is different but finding the perfect position can be all the difference needed to become more comfortable and stress free at least when it comes to breast feeding.

Key Takeaways:

• I tried various “holds” and latching techniques, hoping to find one that would provide relief. My lactation consultant blamed poor posture and urged me to buy a footstool and a new nursing pillow.
• Mother and baby are tummy-to-tummy — no special pillows, chairs or stools required. Gravity encourages a deep latch from baby, while mom gets to recline while nursing.
• Did the pain go away? No, not initially. But something more significant happened. Once I stopped worrying about latches and holds, I found myself actually looking at my daughter.

“Still, I’m left wondering why laid-back wasn’t included in my standard breastfeeding training — why my husband had to find it online after I’d sought professional help twice.”
