Here is a step-by-step guide on how to perform the football hold:
Sit comfortably with a pillow or cushion to support your arm and back. Place the baby on a pillow beside you, with their body extended along your side and feet pointing towards your back. Support the babyâs head with your hand, ensuring their nose is at the level of your nipple. Use your other hand to guide your breast into the babyâs mouth, ensuring a proper latch. Once latched, you can use the pillow to support your arm, maintaining a comfortable position for both you and the baby.
