Do you find any that increases/decreases wind?

Better latching?

Well there's a lot out there about good positioning & you'd be better reading it first hand but in general the baby should be facing you (not cradled, iyswim), brought up to your breast, and should get as big a mouthful as possible. When they're on, th nipple should be against the roof of their mouth & their lower jaw should be doing the work
