Breastfeeding on the Couch


Breastfeeding baby while sitting on the couch. Here is a gorgeous  photo that a mother has shared with us, and it raises some good points to show you.
·        Breastfeeding position on the couch (as most mothers do!)
·        Baby in the cradle position. 
·        Pillow support behind mums back
·        Mums arm resting on the arm of the chair.
·        Minimal baby weight in your arms.
·        Feet flat on the floor
Its really important that you are sitting comfortably with no strain on your back or neck.  And minimal baby weight in your arms. If you are still experiencing back or neck pain, check out a Nursing Pillow
