The clutch or football position is
one of the breastfeeding positioning mothers can adopt to initiate optimal breastfeeding.
This is a good position for a mother who has had a Cesarean birth.
BENEFITS
»»It keeps the baby away from
the incision.
»»Most newborns are very
comfortable in this position.
»»It also helps when a mother
has a forceful milk ejection reflex (let down) because the baby can handle the
flow more easily.
PROCESS
»»In the clutch position you
support your baby's head in your hand and his back along your arm beside you.
»»You support your breast
with a "C" hold. (Read "Breast Support Techniques" article for a description of this hold.)
»»He/she is facing you, with
his/her mouth at nipple height.
»»Your baby's legs and feet
are tucked under your arm with his/her hips flexed and his legs resting
alongside your back rest so the soles of his feet are pointed toward the
ceiling. (This keeps him from being able to push against your chair.) Pillows
again help bring the baby to the correct height.
