The key to successful breastfeeding is the correct position of the mother and baby during breastfeeding. There are many options for breastfeeding positions - lying, sitting or standing, with or without aids. Today we are talking about lying down. This method is very convenient for feeding a baby from the first day of life.

Instructions
Step 1
The first option is lying on your hand. The baby lies on his mother's hand, the mother holds him so that he lies on his side, and not on his back with his head turned (this makes it harder for the child to swallow). Mom can put a pillow under her head or under her shoulder. Another option for this position is not to put the child on your hand. The baby just lies next to him, and his mother holds him under his back. This is the classic lying position.
Step 2
The second option is lying on a pillow. When the classic pose is perfectly mastered, you can try it with the chest. To do this, it is most convenient to put the baby on a pillow, be sure to support it under the back.
Step 3
The third option is a jack. A very unusual and, at first glance, uncomfortable position. The baby's legs are turned towards the mother's head. This position will help with the formation of milk stagnation in the upper lobes of the breast.
Step 4
And the fourth option is the Australian pose or "telephone". Mom lies on her back, the child is on top. Many people also find this position uncomfortable, but in some cases it is irreplaceable. For example, with an excessively strong milk flow, when the baby cannot cope with it.
