Sharon, For moms with possible positioning problems (particularly those you aren't able to see yourself) or crack I suggest that mom lie (lay? I never did get that straight) down or get semi-reclining and let baby lie across her chest face down and nurse like that. Is that called the Australian postition? I'm the C-sec mom and it's also great in bed when you're early postpartum and not able to lie on your side very comfortably, let alone turning over to the other side. This shows that babies can nurse with their noses in the breast and still breathe. I recently had a 3x mom who had BF previous children, but evidently hadn't been paying attention to positioning with this baby and got cracks on both nipples. After a couple days resting the nipples and pumping, she tried way to nurse and said it was really comfortable. Pat Avon Lake, OH
