Tailor and Saddle Hold

Tailor Breastfeeding Position

The tailor breastfeeding position is ideal for older babies and toddlers. You can use pillows to raise a smaller infant up to the right level. Lay the baby across your lap or make her sit up straight. The tailor breastfeeding position also ensures that you do not strain your back if you do not get a support for your back. This position is followed by many Indian mothers.

Saddle Hold Breastfeeding Position

The saddle hold breastfeeding position is preferred if you are nursing your baby in the sitting position. The saddle hold breastfeeding position is best if the baby has a running nose or sore ear.
