There are two main methods most commonly used in baby breastfeeding: underarm (football) hold and cradle hold. In the underarm hold, the baby is positioned at your side, tucked under your arm; this especially reduces pressure on the belly after cesarean and provides better latch with smaller babies. In the cradle hold, the baby is positioned in the opposite arm with the head in the crook of the arm. In both positions, it's important that the baby's head, neck, and spine are aligned, the baby's mouth latches on the areola (not just the nipple), and deep chin movement and swallowing are visible during nursing — if you hear a clicking sound, the latch is incorrect. The right method is whichever position feels most comfortable for both of you.
