I have recommended mothers to nurse during heel sticks. I work on a pediatric floor and don't give immunizations often but I was wondering what position the baby and mother are in when nursing during immunization. Is it a football hold? (i know some may see this as a stupid question. Almost all couplets i work with are newbies and have a hard enough time trying to just get the baby to nurse in some more common holds).
Thanks for personal experience.
