The first time I heard the term anti-gravity used in connection with breastfeeding was when Suzanne Colson used it to describe anti-gravity reflexes that aid with latch. My understanding is that these reflexes help the baby orient body positioning and can be elicited by placing a baby prone (ie laid-back positioning). We all have anti-gravity muscles which help us remain upright.
