As your LO got bigger/older did you change nursing positions, or use the same one as when they were a newborn?
-
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.
-
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.
-
as a newborn, we did a lot of football hold because of her latch. now we do mainly cradle. (at almost 5m)
-
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!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Anybody use the "laid back" position?
-
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.
-
We exclusively did cross cradle or football hold in the beginning. Now it's almost always cradle hold.
-
@aprk: we do the laid back position... Started because of a forceful letdown and still do it!
