Here are the steps to properly execute the football hold:
Sit in a comfortable chair with armrests, or use a pillow for support. Place a pillow on your lap to help lift your baby to breast level. Hold your baby to your side at the level of your waist, under your arm. Support your baby’s neck and shoulders with your hand while guiding them to latch onto your breast. Your baby’s legs should be tucked under your arm, and their nose should be in line with your nipple.
