I should clarify that I am looking for videos showing how a LC could show a
mother the side-lying technique with a baby within the first month of age.
It's not easy to master when she basically has one hand to work with. Some
women get up on one elbow and attach the baby and then ease herself down
without breaking the latch. Not easy if she is very small breasted or
flattish nipples and especially if the baby is a weak or lazy sucker. Some
support the breast with one hand and guide the baby's head with her inner
forearm which is clumsy.
I imagine no one has done a video of ways to teach new mothers this one.
