01/ The cradle hold
The cradle hold is another common breastfeeding position. It's a little difficult to start breastfeeding from this position, but once your baby can latch on well, this is the most common and comfortable position to breastfeed.
02/ The laidback nursing position
This is the first natural position that mothers use to breastfeed their babies. It's a good choice for anyone but especially helpful for premature babies, twins and babies who have difficulty latching on.
03/ The cross-cradle hold
The cross-cradle also called a cross over the hold is a good position for newborns and babies who cannot latch on easily. The position gives you a clear picture of your nipple and your baby's mouth, which gives you the advantage of keeping an eye if your baby is feeding properly.
04/ The football hold
The football hold also called the clutch hold is the perfect choice for nursing twin babies. It is a good position for mothers who gave birth by a C section. It is easy for moms with large breasts or inverted nipples to feed in this position. This position also offers a better view of the baby's mouth and nipples.
05/ The side-lying position
Mothers often get tired because they have to feed their baby in very short intervals. This position is best for moms when they feel tired. It's a good position for babies who are nighttime feeders. It's also comfortable for moms who had a C section.
It's best to alternate between nursing positions. Using the different positions, helps your baby drain the milk easily.
