In the early days of breastfeeding, she let her baby latch as often as they wanted. She knew this frequent nursing would signal her body to produce the milk her baby needed. It was all about building that supply through connection and instinct.
She also experimented with different ways to hold her baby during feedings. At first, she had read about the football hold and thought, “That’s so weird. Who holds a baby like that?” But surprisingly, that exact position ended up being the most comfortable and effective way for her to nurse her firstborn. When her second baby came along, the football hold didn’t work as well—so she adapted, finding a new position that suited both of them better.
Instead of using a regular nursing pillow, she found that a king-size bed pillow offered better support and comfort during feedings, giving her more flexibility and helping her settle into the experience more naturally.
