Hello Lactnetters!
In response to the comments about the “scissor hold,” it is now my go-to recommendation for a mother when assisting an infant with latch.  A colleague coined it “chop stick fingers” which has a more positive connotation than “scissors” or the old “cigarette hold.”  Using this hold, along with biological positioning, has transformed my practice and affirmed my belief in the innate ability of mothers and babies to comfortably breastfeed. 

Wishing you all the best,
Amy
