Breastfeeding positions

Content

There are many positions you can try when breastfeeding your baby. Here are some options, including one for twins.

There is no right breastfeeding position. Breast size, how well the baby latches on to the nipple and how fast your milk lets down make some positions better than others.

As you try different positions, focus on how your baby responds and how you feel. If you are both comfortable, you've found the right position. But if the next time that position doesn't work, try something different.
