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.
