Try different positions. For all positions, check that:

• Your back and arms are well supported. A pillow behind your back and under your arms will help.
• Your baby's head and body are raised up to your breast. A pillow under your baby will help.
• Your baby's chest is facing and touching your chest. Place your baby on his/her side except in the football position. For the football position, place your baby on his/her back or slightly turned to the breast.
• Your baby's mouth is facing your nipple. Bring baby to you instead of leaning over or pushing your nipple into your baby's mouth.
