At birth, I'd go for the prone position, so the 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). http://breastcrawl.org/video.htm 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.) http://www.ameda.com/breastfeeding/started/latch_on.aspx 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. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Take the Internet to Go: Yahoo!Go puts the Internet in your pocket: mail, news, photos & more. http://mobile.yahoo.com/go?refer=1GNXIC *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html Mail all commands to [log in to unmask] To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or [log in to unmask]) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet or ([log in to unmask]) To reach list owners: [log in to unmask]
