To sustain nursing for weeks, months, and beyond; feeds must be comfortable for the lactating parent and child.
Thank you IBCLC for sharing your go-to position when families are struggling with latch, painful feeds, and/or a baby experiencing digestive issues (gas, reflux, colic). This upright position is the Koala Hold. 🐨
Relax, work with gravity, and optimize skin-to-skin bonding. ✨️ This position can be upright or reclined. Happy nursing!

"Laid back position in a chair
The laid back position can be a hugely helpful feeding position, and is often my go-to when l'm supporting families with breastfeeding. It can be a lot more instinctive, and comes with many less 'rules' than other positions.
Mothers are often worried about how they can use the position when out and about, so I thought these images might be really useful.
Success!
Have you tried this position? Let me know if you give it a go.
