How to lie down correctly for breastfeeding

Patient's question:

Because I just had a C-section, no matter how I lie down, I'm not comfortable. How should I lie down for correct breastfeeding posture?

Doctor's answer:

Mom lies sideways on the bed, facing the baby, then places the baby's head in her arms or uses a nursing pillow or towel to support the baby's head, ensuring the baby's mouth is aligned horizontally with her nipple. At the same time, she uses the forearm of her other arm to support the baby's back, with her hand holding the baby's head. This position is very suitable for cesarean section mothers, as well as those with episiotomies, perineal tears, or hemorrhoid pain.
