This breastfeeding position has been a lifesaver!!
The football hold!! (picture down below) If you're naturally big breasted like me, a DDD before pregnancy, your boobs naturally sag, and the cradle hold has you without use of both hands and bent over then you may want to try this. I put my boppy with the middle on my side, with one end in my lap and the other behind my back. With the baby either on his side, belly to belly or on his back with his eyes facing mine. I'm trying to help women in the same position as I! The nurses in the hospital showed me nothing, they put my son on my boob, cross cradle, and he immediately latched on and that was it as far as breastfeeding goes. I don't have my mother or anyone else around to help or give guidance so I just kinda suffered through putting him cross cradle and letting him latch on his own. I searched breastfeeding on YouTube and found "readysetbabybook" I learned a few things, and I recommend it. I now use the football hold everytime and I have use if both of my hands!! I use the latching technique they show on the channel as well. I bring my baby to work with me and it's amazing to be able to work on my computer while feeding. I also now can do my makeup, read a book and even eat while he's eating, all things I couldn't do before because of having to hold his head in correct positioning and having to keep his nose clear so he could breathe. I hope this helps someone, thank God for technology!
