Hip-Safe Nursing Position

My baby was born breach and breach babies are more at risk of hip dysplasia. I know that I am supposed to be careful of her hips (put her in the “m” position) when she’s in a carrier and when she’s nursing - basically any activity that lasts a long time or happens frequently.

We do the cradle hold when nursing. Her legs are not in the “m” position this way. Any suggestions on hip healthy nursing positions?
