A. Hi mommy Squeeze your nipple frequently Make sure you’re comfortable and well supported with pillows. Lean back rather than sit upright. Place your baby on your bare chest between your breasts, facing you. Gravity will help keep your baby in position. It’s best if your baby is awake but not crying. If your baby is crying, calm baby first, perhaps by letting baby suck your finger. When your baby is calm, let baby follow their instincts and start moving towards one breast. Support your baby behind the shoulders and under the bottom (hold baby’s head only if you need to). Let your baby move towards your nipple. Your baby knows where to go. Your job is to keep your baby calm. You can help by moving your baby’s whole body a little if necessary
