> have the mom lie semi-turned with baby coming under her arm and over the nipple so baby stays flexed and forward along with self-latching. Jane, I'm having trouble imagining what you are saying. Are you talking about mom turning while using the "football hold" ? Would you break it down. --K Kathy Koncelik, CPD, CLC ------------------------------- Treasurer Co-Founder Long Island Doula Assoc., Inc.

It describes holding the baby prior to feeding on his/her tummy over moms knees and have him/her suck on her finger to encourage the tongue to fall forward and relax the tension in the jaw to decrease biting. I think it was called magic hold, calm hold or something but can not find the article.
