I'm pleased to read of others who like to ''think besides the lines'' if needed occasionally. When I teach my LCs2B I like showing them pictures of un-typical positioning (I do have some quite stranges ones actually), just to tickle their imagination and to get them to think more creative in solving problems.

Warmly greeting,

almost to the floor. A lot of the knowing how to put mom and baby 
together successfully comes from intuition and experience. The key is to 
keep flexible in your approach, even if you generally try your favorite 
thing first at most consults. When it's not working, try something else 
to get that chin on breast, philtrum (that little ridge between nose and 
upper lip) to nipple lineup.
