Stability and Alignment

Why an image of someone doing a plank?!

What can that possibly have to do with breastfeeding my baby?

I am CONSTANTLY discussing the importance of stability and alignment when considering positioning of both parent and baby while breastfeeding. You will hear me say...

"Relax your back and shoulders"

"Tuck-in baby and lean back"

"Ear, shoulder, hip alignment"

"Tummy to tummy, chest to chest"

"Have baby give you a hug"

My goals here?

Stability for baby, supported by your body

Stability for you, supported by pillows/blankets/cushions

that make sense for you

Alignment for both of you!

Here's to relaxed and comfortable breastfeeding!
