Position and latch Finding your fit Practice makes perfect!
Find the positions that work for you. A good latch helps prevent nipple pain and helps your baby remove milk. Be sure you’re comfortable.
Getting started: Leaning Back Laying belly-to-belly with your baby is the most natural thing to do right after birth. When your baby shows signs of trying to find the breast, support this search. They will nuzzle up and attach to the breast.
Breastfeeding while leaning back comfortably goes along with your baby’s natural instincts.
