Baby Playing

Play with me!

I’m ready to learn about you, me, and the world we live in. I want to discover what my body can do. Give me TUMMY TIME when we play. When I’m alert and relaxed, put me on a blanket on the floor. Watch how I stretch and kick my legs and move my arms. I’m making them stronger.

PLAYING helps me learn, improve coordination, build strength, explore, and bond with you!

DON’T let me have these foods until I am at least 1 year old:

Cow’s milk or other non-dairy milks (like soy or almond milk). It’s too hard for me to digest and may cause health problems.

Honey and foods made with honey. Honey can contain bacteria that cause infant botulism, or food poisoning. These bacteria are harmless to older kids and adults.

Introducing Peanut Butter

If my healthcare provider says it is ok, let me try peanut butter around 6 months of age. Doing this might help prevent a peanut allergy as I grow older.

In the morning, mix one teaspoon of peanut butter with human milk or formula. Make it thin and easy to swallow.

Use a spoon to offer a taste of the thinned product. Wait 10 minutes, then offer more. Watch for any reaction for the next 2 hours.

      Side Lying Hold

      Side-Lying Hold

      1. For the right breast, lie on your right side with your baby facing you.
      2. Pull your baby close. Your baby’s mouth should be level with your nipple.
      3. In this position, you can cradle your baby’s back with your left arm and support yourself with your right arm and/or pillows.
      4. Keep loose clothing and bedding away from your baby.
      5. Reverse for the left breast.

      This hold is useful when:

      • You had a C-section
      • You want to rest while baby feeds
      • You are breastfeeding in the middle of the night
      • You and your baby are comfortable in this position
      Cross Cradle Hold

      Cross-Cradle Hold

      1. For the right breast, use your left arm to hold your baby’s head at your right breast and baby’s body toward your left side. A pillow across your lap can help support your left arm.
      2. Gently place your left hand behind your baby’s ears and neck, with your thumb and index finger behind each ear and your palm between baby’s shoulder blades. Turn your baby’s body toward yours so your tummies are touching.
      3. Hold your breast as if you are squeezing a sandwich. To protect your back, avoid leaning down to your baby. Instead, bring your baby to you.
      4. As your baby’s mouth opens, push gently with your left palm on baby’s head to help them latch on. Make sure you keep your fingers out of the way.
      5. Reverse for the left breast.

      This hold is useful when:

      • Your baby is premature
      • Your baby has a weak suck
      • Your baby needs help to stay latched
      • Your baby needs extra head support
      • You and your baby are comfortable in this position
      Football Hold

      Clutch or “Football” Hold

      1. For the right breast, hold your baby level, facing up, at your right side.
      2. Put your baby’s head near your right nipple and support their back and legs under your right arm.
      3. Hold the base of your baby’s head with your right palm. A pillow underneath your right arm can help support your baby’s weight.
      4. To protect your back, avoid leaning down to your baby. Bring baby to you instead.
      5. Reverse for the left breast.

      This hold is useful when:

      • You had a C-section
      • You have large breasts
      • You have flat or inverted nipples
      • You have a strong milk let-down
      • You are breastfeeding twins
      • Your baby likes to feed in an upright position
      • Your baby has reflux
      • You and your baby are comfortable in this position
      Breastfeeding Holds

      Cradle Hold

      1. For the right breast, cradle your baby with your right arm. Your baby will be on their left side across your lap, facing you at nipple level.
      2. Your baby’s head will rest on your right forearm with your baby’s back along your inner arm and palm.
      3. Turn your baby’s tummy toward your tummy. Your left hand is free to support your breast, if needed. Pillows can help support your arm and elbow.
      4. To protect your back, avoid leaning down to your baby. Instead, bring your baby to you.
      5. Reverse for the left breast.

      This hold is useful when:

      • Your baby needs help latching on
      • You and your baby are comfortable in this position
      Breastfeeding Holds

      Laid-Back Hold

      1. Lean back on a pillow with your baby’s tummy touching yours and their head at breast level. Some moms find that sitting up nearly straight works well. Others prefer to lean back and lie almost flat.
      2. You can place your baby’s cheek near your breast, or you may want to use one hand to hold your breast near your baby. It’s up to you and what you think feels best.
      3. Your baby will naturally find your nipple, latch, and begin to suckle.

      This hold is useful when:

      • Your baby is placed on your chest right after birth
      • You have a strong milk let-down
      • You have large breasts
      • You and your baby are comfortable in this position
