There are many ways to hold the baby while breastfeeding. One such technique is called the football hold because you basically hold your baby like a football. This is a good technique for mothers who have had a C-section because the baby rests on your side rather than on your belly. Rest the baby on the outer side of the breast you'll feed her with, baby's legs will be behind you and baby's head faces you to make eye contact. Place your arm over the baby's body and wrap your hand behind her head and neck. Line up her mouth with your nipple/areola and begin feeding. Have a happy feeding.
