Hi my 5 week old baby was fitted with a Pavlik Harness today. Does anyone have any experiences/advice on breastfeeding with one of these. Am finding it difficult to get into a good position. Any advice most welcome!!

I know nothing about Pavlik Harnesses, but I did find this thread on another website with mothers suggesting positions.

If you are struggling, I would also consider calling a breastfeeding support line, or visiting a drop-in group, if you can face it. I think any breastfeeding support person would be eager to help you sort this out - if there are people in your area, a home visit might make sense?

Thanks, I think I might try going to my support group. Never gone before, but I think I will need to try something.

That makes sense. It sounds like you already know about your local support group?
