As
you hold your baby in any of the positions, you may need to support your breast with your
free hand. This removes the weight of the breast from the baby's chin, allowing
him to breastfeed more effectively.
"C"
HOLD
»Support your breast with your
thumb on top, well back from your areola (the darker skin surrounding the
nipple) and the fingers underneath. »Your
fingers should also be well back from your baby's mouth.
This
hold is helpful when breastfeeding in the clutch
or football position as well as
the cradle position.
"U"
HOLD
»Place your fingers flat on your
ribcage under your breast with your index finger in the crease under your
breast. »Drop your elbow so that your breast
is supported between your thumb and index finger. »Your
thumb will be on the outer area of your breast and your fingers will be on the
inner are area (depending on the breast been held).
