How breastfeeding works

Breastfeeding positioning

Biological Nurturing sample scenario

We encourage every mother to try laid-back breastfeeding which is about using positions that tap in to your baby's natural reflexes. It's sometimes called "biological nurturing". Your baby is born with the ability to move towards his food source - your breasts. You can play to this instinct by lying back and placing your baby, tummy down, on your chest.
