Here's my pass at a description -- with thanks to Rebecca Glover, Catherine Watson Genna, Lucia Jenkins for earlier posts and phrases: * Snug Baby in close, like a baby cummerbund, around Mom's mid-section. * Mom's palm is flat against Baby's shoulder blades; her thumb and index finger touch Baby's ears as she supports the neck. * Baby's chin is touching Mom's breast -- and Baby's philtrum (the groove beneath the nose) -- is touching Mom's nipple. * As Baby instinctively opens wide, the head tilts back like a Pez dispenser. * Mom uses her palm to snug Baby in close one last time ... * Just as Baby is closing his mouth on a nice, assymetrical mouthful of breast tissue.
