Football hold
The baby is placed with his legs under your arm. Hold your baby like a football along your forearm, with the baby`s body on your arm and with his face toward your breast. Use your other hand to support your breast. This position is good if you have engorged breasts or sore nipples. A mother who has undergone cesarean section and cannot lay the baby on her stomach will find this position useful.. If you often have plugged milk ducts, the football hold can help because it helps your baby empty the ducts at the bottom of the breast. It is also a good position for nursing twins!
