Dear Friends:

It was Diane Wiessinger who pointed out at a LLL healthcare professional
conference presentation in 2009, that all the Victorian nursing chairs were
slightly reclined! If you do a google search for "victorian nursing chairs"
, you'll see what she meant.

Dr. Suzanne Colson suggests that the mother recline to her chosen angle of
comfort. I suggest the mother recline to the point where she doesn't have to
use her hands or arms to hold the baby on her chest. Gravity is holding the
baby on her chest, and then she has her hands free.

For an office, it might be cheaper and easier to have a examination table
with its head pushed against the wall. Then piles of pillows could be use to
tailor a comfortable and effect BN position, unique for each mother's needs.

warmly,


Nikki Lee RN, BSN, Mother of 2, MS, IBCLC, CCE, CIMI
