We have always done the football hold or side-lying but lately the football hold hasn't been working out and side-lying isn't always possible.
What's your go-to?

I love the straddle position. This was most definitely our go to with occasional cradle position and of course side lying at night.

I would lay him across my lap with his legs straddling my opposite leg. So nursing on left breast straddled on right leg.

Around 1 her latch got really toothy and weird and the only comfortable position was sitting up and straddling my waist. It worked out nicely because her nursing sessions were quick and on the go so very conducive for her to get back to what she was doing!

Mostly cradle but occasionally side lying or sitting up straddling my waist. She thinks sitting up is hilarious and usually ends up laughing so hard she's spitting milk every where

I don't know what u call it. But one twin on right takes right boob, left twin takes left boob, while I held onto them so they didn't fall off the Brest friend.

I liked to sit crossed legged on the floor and have him sit in my lap in a cradle hold type position. Also side lying.

I used to have to sit cross legged and Penn would lay across my other knee, she loved to be held like a baby even though she was enormous towards the end (she self weaned at 16 months. There were a lotta drive bys too
