  This for us too.

  Laid back at night, cradle or cross cradle during the day.

  I can only figure out cradle and side lying (which I just did for the first time this morning).

  Lately I am loving the football hold. I usually alternate between that and the standard one -- what is it, cradle or cross cradle? I can never remember the difference between those two.

  Cradle here. I find it really hard to do any other position with a shield.

  Almost always cradle now and sometimes side lying at night, but in the beginning I used football also to help LO latch better and drain the breast more evenly.

  I need to figure out side lying for night. Her latch is still $hitty so I just go with cross cradle so I've got more control.

  This is us, but a boy. Although he has started to like the football hold in the past few days.

  I mainly do the football hold. If I don't have my pillow or am out I'll cradle.

  Cradle and cross cradle. They had me doing the football hold but that was to hard when I got home. For our morning feed I use side laying.

  I mostly do football, but he is getting big and has decided to kick out while nursing causing him to break the latch. So we've been doing it across on one side and football on the other.
  I have to practice the cross position because I can't do football out and about.

  Side lying pretty much always.

  I do a combo of laid back and cradle hold. I wish side lying worked better-he gets frustrated and kicks a lot.

  I picked SS because I feel like I could click like 4 equally. We are on the "which position doesn't drown my child" train due to OS.
