One factor affecting the success of breastfeeding is linked to the position in which we place the baby in time to perform the process. There are mothers who choose to support the child on one side while others prefer to stay prepared with the baby in her arms.
The election will depend on the comfort they prepare for breastfeeding and the best position to facilitate suckling baby.
We can distinguish three basic positions which are the major chosen by mothers:
- Lying in this case the mother should bring the baby to the breast to the child facing. In general, the mother is rocking and is supported by a pillow on the back for greater comfort and the second pillow in the lap which allows it to be more disordered.
- A session: This position is chosen by many women because they can use it anywhere. Here the child’s head should be relaxed, based on the elbow joint of the mother. Again, the pillows are a great help so you can choose nursing for those of the well located between the baby and the mother’s lap. On the other hand, it will help it to the arm of the mother is not tired.
- Invested: it is a very chosen by mothers of twins because the two children can eat at the same time. On the other hand, it is ideal for mothers with cesarean section. In this case the baby is still below the arms of the mother with the feet toward the back of it. The mother should place a pillow under the baby and support the child’s shoulders and the base of the head with his hand.
