Try holding it this way Before holding your baby, it is best to wrap his body with a wrap to reveal only the head and face; hold your baby diagonally at your left (right) elbow, your side of the palm unfolded on the baby’s waist and hip, protect the lower half of the baby’s body, so that the baby’s head and shoulders are located between your arm and forehead, and the other hand naturally assist. This baby will feel more comfortable, you also save effort, but also easy to carry out face-to-face emotional communication with the baby.

The holding posture when breastfeeding: 1. Sitting and feeding The mother sits and raises one leg 10-15 cm, cradles the baby in the bend of the arm on the side of the raised leg, with the head inside the elbow joint and one hand holding the baby’s back and buttocks. During breastfeeding, you must not bend over in a large arc or forcefully probe forward to avoid overfeeding the nipple into the baby’s mouth and causing the baby to choke and cough. When the baby is breastfeeding, the neck is overstretched, often suggesting that the nipple is too far from the baby’s mouth. You can try to sit him on a small pillow or soft cushion, then put the baby on your lap together with the pillow and hold the baby’s head with the bend of your arm. This will make him more comfortable. 2, cross-legged feeding Mom sit on the bed, cross your legs, let the baby sit on your lap, and then hold the baby with your arm, so that his little hands can freely touch your breast, so that the baby will feel warm and close, you will also feel much more relaxed.
