Side-Lying

One of my favorite positions to teach in a consult is side-lying! Nursing in this position is so relaxing for both parent and baby. It's not as intimidating as many believe, and reduces the amount of fumbling with pillows/awkward holds. The surface supports the breast and the baby, so it can also be hands-free. Give it a try!
