The client is trying to breastfeed and wants to but is having an increasingly harder time holding the baby. Regina, How about having the mom use a sling for nursing; allows hands free and could be used for cradling hold and also clutch (football) hold. Once worked with a mom who was a hemipalegic who nursed nicely with the sling when breastfeeding on her affected side.
