Started because of a forceful letdown and still do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-change-nursing-positions-as-your-lo-got-older#post-581070 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:10:06 +0000 hilsy85 581070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We exclusively did cross cradle or football hold in the beginning. Now it's almost always cradle hold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-change-nursing-positions-as-your-lo-got-older#post-581069 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:07:18 +0000 sera_87 581069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He now prefers to sit up and nurse unless he's really tired and then we do cradle. Also side lying is still a favourite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-change-nursing-positions-as-your-lo-got-older#post-580374 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:27:24 +0000 aprk 580374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anybody use the "laid back" position? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-change-nursing-positions-as-your-lo-got-older#post-580314 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:10:09 +0000 Weagle 580314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always done cradle and side-lying. Now she tends to like to twist and turn and wiggle while she's nursing. There really are no names for those positions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-change-nursing-positions-as-your-lo-got-older#post-580304 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:08:06 +0000 DillonLion 580304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did football originally. Moved on to doing cradle and cross cradle for awhile. Now we do side lying most of the time or cross cradle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-change-nursing-positions-as-your-lo-got-older#post-580294 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:05:15 +0000 littlebittyhouse 580294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup. used to football hold on one side, cross cradle the other. now its kind of whatever position we're in. my favorite is side lying though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-change-nursing-positions-as-your-lo-got-older#post-580277 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:00:36 +0000 yellowbird 580277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still do cross cradle and most of the time use my boppy at 5.5 months. She's getting long for the boppy though, so we'll probably try some new moves soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-change-nursing-positions-as-your-lo-got-older#post-580242 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:52:04 +0000 sorrycharlie 580242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>as a newborn, we did a lot of football hold because of her latch. now we do mainly cradle. (at almost 5m) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-change-nursing-positions-as-your-lo-got-older#post-580237 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:50:54 +0000 sarac 580237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah. Now we either lay down, or she sits on my lap and nurses. We NEVER do a baby hold any more, haven't since she was 7 months, probably. 17 months now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-change-nursing-positions-as-your-lo-got-older#post-580226 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:48:26 +0000 mrskc 580226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely changed positions. As a newborn I could only do the cross cradle with him laying on a pillow. Now I just usually do a regular cradle hold or side lying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-change-nursing-positions-as-your-lo-got-older#post-580212 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 14:45:38 +0000 Bao 580212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As your LO got bigger/older did you change nursing positions, or use the same one as when they were a newborn? </p>
