YES! YES! YES!
I believe that the most important thing we can do to teach pregnant
women about breastfeeding is to have them hold a *baby* in a position
that is right FOR THEM. After their babies are born, their bodies
remember what to do.
There is great value in teaching ALL pregnant women low to achieve a
good latch. Many mothers have told me that although they swore they
would not breastfeed they did so, just because they had learned what
to do whilst pregnant and it now *seemed to be natural .*
