If your nipples point farther out, would you help baby latch or let baby figure it out on their own? My baby has silent reflux and we are trying to find positions other than side laying to help him
I do think having more erect nipples can help, but it really comes down to getting your baby to get a wider mouth and getting more breast tissue in their. The nipple being longer/more erect does help to elicit the suck reflux more easily, though!
What if your breast is low and your nipples point down and you gave a large belly? I am finding it hard to find comfortable positions to nurse my baby in
Have you tried doing modified koala with baby on the opposite leg, making sure you're leaning back quite a bit (probably further than you think). You could also try and make a breastsling to help elevate your breast a little bit more.
I watched a video about acid reflux and it mentioned this position for babies with acid reflux
Is your baby having acid reflux

I have the same question.
I imagine side lying would work or football hold where with the help of a cushion you could have baby beside you instead 😊
@gabrielaalbornoz1636 football was my go to but now as he's larger (almost 4 months old) this position is more difficult :(
