I encounterd a pt with extremely large breasts that was having the same difficulty (not being able to see her own nipple,etc)....I finally had mom sit in a chair next to the bed at an appropriate height; she then laid baby on his side propped with a pillow; mom placed her breast on the bed,using the bed as a support; Mom could then put baby in position, using a small rolled towel under her breast to raise it as needed. This worked well for this pt. *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
