maybe I am misinterpreting you, however I was wondering why particularly
*adding*  football hold would make a difference. I would have thought
improving latch with *any* hold would be the key (along with the compression
and switching).
That is a deep asymmetrical latch with good head extension to drive in the
lower jaw as well as no gap between mum and baby etc (as you know).

Curious ;-)

PS to Winnie:
I want to echo everything others have said, Winnie. Don't leave ,we need you
here! I love reading your posts. And in turn I hope we can give you the
support you will need to get through the last 6 months of your employment.
Hang in there Winnie, we wouldn't *enjoy* the good times, if we didn't have
the bad times to compare with. Have a good Christmas everyone.
