Transitioning holds as LO grows?

Question

As my LO gets bigger, I'm finding it harder to hold her to breastfeed. We do the cradle hold on the boppy pillow. She's 14 weeks old. Probably around 13-14 lbs and at least 24 inches.   
What did you mamas do as babies get bigger?

Answer

You will adjust. And as baby gets bigger they do better at holding themselves to breastfeed. I'm breastfeeding my third child and he's 9 months. He wiggles and is so easily distracted but we make it work! I find a blanket snuggled him in gets him cozy and eliminates most of the wiggles that make things difficult

Answer

I almost always nurse my daughter in bed using the side-lying position -- it's her favorite. When we can't nurse in bed, I cradle her in my arms at breast level and basically rest her bottom in my lap while she nurses so her head is slightly elevated. My lap gets most of the weight so my arms don't get tired.

Answer

I am trying to figure this out as well! My LO is 3 weeks and 12lbs already.

Answer

Just use a pillow under your elbow to take the weight 😊 try not to use the boppy. I never changed holds and fed for 12 months 😊
