What is the best position for breastfeeding?

Comfortable: The best position for breast feeding is the most comfortable position for you and your baby. Typical positions include the cradle hold, the football hold, or side-lying. These positions are all effective. Some baby/mommy teams prefer one and some prefer another.

Whatever works: Whatever works best for you and baby. Many babies have a favorite position and many even have a favorite side. Do whatever is most successful for you and that individual baby.
