The best way to breastfeed

The best way to breastfeed

'I always lie baby Ben on his side with my arm or a pillow supporting his body. Remember his mouth should be level with your nipple and you should make sure that all of your nipple and the area around your nipple (areola) goes in your baby's mouth.'
