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.
