Breastfeeding Twins Series
Support and Flexibility
By Melissa Clark Vickers
This position is especially suited to the nursing pillows. Each baby lies tucked under an arm, with heads to the front and such that they can reach the nipple without turning. With a nursing pillow, you may be able to do this one "hands-free" once they latch on.
- Double Cradle. In this position, each baby is held in a classic nursing position, with head in the crook of your elbow and feet in your lap. One baby's feet will lie on the other's feet or abdomen.
- Parallel. In this position, the babies are pointing in the same direction, such that one baby's head rests on the other's abdomen. For example, Baby A lies in a cradle position at the right breast, with head in the crook of your arm and feet pointing toward your midline. Baby B is tucked under your left arm either in a football hold, or else held such that his head is in your left hand and his bottom is tucked under your left elbow.
