Morgan wrote, in part:
At birth, I'd go for the prone position, so the nipple is centered
upwards from centre of the breast, and is in a good place
for the baby
to find it - exactly like the breast position on this
video: (all the
way at the end).

This second video shows the process well, and is useful, but
for the
truly pendulous breast, if she gets things working with the
utterly
prone position - I'd stick with it for a while. Mine did a perfect
latch on by himself at birth - we'd placed him on my chest
and he just
did it. The problems
came when I tried to do stuff like I was being
told to. I do support
a lot of women with pendulous breasts, and they
do report lying more prone, and letting baby do the work for
the first
two to three weeks, until skill levels build, is the least
stressfull
way. (That's both
Mama's skill levels, and baby's.)

I¢m trying to envision this and I think that you mean supine
(lying on the back or with the face upward) rather than prone (having the front
or ventral surface downward)
Hope this helps.
