It works like this: You settle into a semi-reclined position while your baby lies tummy-down on your abdomen. This is known as " breast crawl ”, meaning your baby will naturally move toward your breast to breastfeed on their own, pushing their feet against your belly. With this position, your baby is less likely to latch incorrectly, and you can enjoy a moment of relaxation rather than stress during the feed.

Especially suitable

• For breastfeeding beginners.

• If you are recovering from injuries after childbirth.

• If you want to relieve tension in the pelvic floor.

Not recommended

• After a cesarean section, because your baby may press on your scar. To avoid this discomfort, you can place your baby on your chest or shoulders.
  

Here's how it works: You sit with a breastfeeding pillow resting on your knees. Your baby lies on their side on the pillow, with their belly close to yours. Support their back with the arm on the same side as the breast you’ll use: left breast/left arm and right breast/right arm. Their head rests in the crook of your arm.

Particularly suitable

• Considered a classic breastfeeding position, it is appreciated by many mothers.
  

Not recommended

• After a cesarean section, because your baby may press on your scar.

• Outside the house, this position requires a pillow.
  
  

Here's how it works: A variation of the cradle position: you sit while your baby lies on the pillow, with their tummy pressed against yours. Unlike the cradle hold, you support your baby with the opposite arm—right breast/left arm and left breast/right arm. Your baby’s head rests in your hand.

Especially suitable

• If your baby has difficulty latching onto the nipple, this position helps guide their head toward your breast.

• Perfect for newborns, as your baby’s head is better supported in this position.
  

Not recommended

• If you have injuries from childbirth, such as sore areas that won’t be strained in a side-lying position.

It works like this: Your child sits in front of you on your knees. Their face is turned toward you, directly facing your chest.

Particularly suitable

• If your child has a stomach ache or colic, this position helps them swallow less air.

• If your child has a stuffy nose, sitting upright helps them breathe more easily.

• If there is milk congestion in the lower part of your breast, as your baby massages this area with their chin.

• If you have a strong milk ejection reflex, your baby may not swallow as quickly as in other positions.

Not recommended

• After a cesarean section, because your baby may press on your scar.

• Outside the house, this position requires the use of a pillow.
