Sorry I know I shouldn't laugh, I hope you have him feeding
on that side again, but when I read your post I read 2.5 years
instead of months. I was sitting here trying to picture feeding
a 2.5 year old in football hold! What a twit :-) (me not you).

LOL. How *do* you hold a 2.5 year old? I'm trying to picture nursing
DD and having trouble.


Not in a football hold!

Is that only due to getting the space behind you? Otherwise I don't see
why not?

The space behind you is an issue, certainly, but for me, it's also
because you have to help support her head and shoulders to raise her
up enough to reach your breast and toddlers are HEAVY- or else slouch
down to get the boob in her mouth. In the cradle hold, her butt and
body are resting on your lap, automatically raised up. She still rests
her head on my arm, but it's a lot less that way - at least for us.
