Using Your Pollywog Nursing Positioner
1 |
Get in a comfortable, upright position with good back support, such as a Pollywog brand nursing lumbar support.
|
|
|
2 |
Place Pollywog and baby as close to your body as possible.
|
|
|
3 |
Adjust Pollywog and/or baby by sliding baby up or down on Pollywog, or by sliding Pollywog across your lap until baby's mouth is positioned slightly under your breast.
|
 |
|
4 |
Always bring baby and Pollywog to your breast, never your breast to baby and Pollywog. Support your breast when bringing baby up to it.
|
|
|
5 |
When using the football hold, it may be necessary to increase Pollywog's height by placing one corner of Pollywog on your leg. A rolled up cloth next to your newborn's bottom should help prevent sliding.
|
 |
|
6 |
You can easily elevate Pollywog to 30+ degrees to improve digestion by sliding Pollywog across your lap until the tail rests between your knees.
|
 |
|
7 |
Always keep one hand behind baby to prevent rolling.
|

If you experience sore nipples that do not
appear to be improving daily, please consult a lactation
consultant. Breastfeeding should never hurt, even in the
beginning.
