Struggling to get comfortable with breastfeeding? The cradle hold might be your game changer 💛
Breastfeeding position: the cradle hold 🤱
In the cradle hold, your baby lies across your chest, tummy to tummy with you, with their head resting in the crook of your arm on the same side as the feeding breast. Their ear, shoulder, and hip should be in one straight line, and their nose level with your ni**le before they latch.
This position feels natural and nurturing, especially once feeding is established. It allows beautiful eye contact, supports bonding, and can feel calm and secure for both of you when baby is latching well.
Have you found the cradle hold comfortable, or are you still searching for your perfect feeding position?
With love,
