- From SantaBarbaraLactation.com: This is the second in a series of videos describing how effective positioning promotes effective latching. In this video I describe the basics of latch and how to position a baby in the cross cradle position. The goal with any position is the get the nipple far back and to the roof of the baby's mouth. The baby's tongue must also be able to extend and cup the breast.
The most important aspects of an effective latch are:
The baby has full tummy contact with the mother's body.
The baby feels stable.
The baby's head is aligned with his spine, not turned or tilted to the right or left.
The baby reaches up to take the breast.
The baby is in a good drinking position with 2 finger-widths between the chin and chest.
This was my first baby's favorite position (with the same nursing pillow, actually!). I didn't know about the laid back position, or I would have tried that too. I bet she would have responded really well to that one. As she got a little older, we liked to lay down together on our sides. With my second baby, she liked it when I had one knee bent and she'd sort of nestle down in the space between my leg and body while she breastfed. Full body contact for that kid - front and back! LOL She is 9 now, but still loves to cuddle and be held.

I have a three month old, where should I position her hands?
Can you please share what breastfeeding pillow you have in the video? Thanks
It's a My Brest Friend pillow...
Hii
Try with a real baby they almost never latch properly:(
😔
Exactly! I'm trying so much but nothing is working
Id like to see when out and about which most are without a pillow
Also positoning of pillows is a science itself lol
First baby hasn’t come yet, still feel like a mysterious🤔
can a tongue tied baby nurse without the procedure
Yes, many can. It depends on a lot of factors including the anatomy of the tie, the anatomy of mother's breasts, her milk supply, etc. Mothers of babies with tongue tie are at risk of low supply but sometimes it works out fine. If breastfeeding doesn't hurt, if baby is gaining well and milk supply is fine, there is no need to treat. If there are symptoms it is usually advisable to treat the tongue tie, and the younger the baby, the quicker s/he will learn to breastfeed effectively after the procedure.
+Jessica Barton My baby has a tongue tie and i have been mostly pumping and bottle feeding. When I try breastfeeding she gets fussy and oushes herself away. Is there any hope for breastfeeding? I have a large milk supply and end up freezing some of the milk.
+fdgirl92 Yes there is lots of hope! Keep up your milk supply, get her treated by somebody good and then work with a lactation consultant experienced with tongue tie. If there isn't anyone in your area, try Melissa Cole - she is excellent and does Skype consults. You'll need patience and lots of skin to skin time, especially when your baby is sleepy, to get over the aversion she has developed because breastfeeding is so hard for her right now. If you go on the tongue tie babies support group on Facebook you should be able to find a good provider in your area. I hope that helps!
