Let's chat about what I consider a classic breastfeeding position...the good ol' cradle hold!
Oftentimes, when I come into a home, I observe a lot of stark upright positioning and hunching over breastfeeding pillows. Please, parents, for the sake of your necks and backs...relax back and bring baby to you! I always say that pillows are meant to accomodate you, not for you to accomodate them! Use your bodies to support your babies, and the pillows/cushions/blankets/towels...whatever! to support you. When you relax back, gravity helps baby get a deeper latch, and you being comfortable helps to get the milk flowing ;)
