|Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Cross Cradle hold for breastfeeding.

|-
|00:07
|In this tutorial we will learn about- Choosing the correct breastfeeding hold for a mother and her baby

|-
|00:16
|Mother’s preparation before breastfeeding and

|-
|00:20
| Step-by-step procedure for Cross Cradle hold.

|-
|00:24
|Let us begin.

|-
|00:26
|Across the world, mothers breastfeed their babies using various types of holds.

|-
|00:32
|The best breastfeeding hold for a mother and her baby is the one in which- Both mother and baby are comfortable for the entire duration of breastfeeding

|-
|00:43
|The baby is able to attach deeply to the mother’s breast

|-
|00:48
|And get sufficient milk.

|-
|00:51
|Let us learn about one of the holds called Cross Cradle hold.

|-
|00:56
|Cross Cradle hold is the best hold to have-
full control of baby’s body

breast support

and deep latching.

|-
|01:06
|Before feeding her baby, the mother must wash and dry her hands properly.

|-
|01:12
|Then she should drink a glass of boiled and cooled water.

|-
|01:16
|Lactating mothers produce 750 to 850 mililitre of milk per day on an average.

|-
|01:24
|Therefore, they need to increase their daily water intake.

|-
|01:29
|Next, let’s discuss the position of the mother.

|-
|01:33
|Mother should sit on the floor or on the bed in cross legged position.

|-
|01:38
|Or on a chair with her feet flat on the ground.

|-
|01:43
|If the chair is too high and her feet do not reach the floor then, she can rest her feet flat on a small stool or pillows kept on the floor.

|-
|01:54
|While sitting, she should ensure that - Her back is straight so as to avoid back pain

|-
|02:03
|Her shoulders are relaxed and not elevated or curved

|-
|02:08
|And this relaxed position is maintained throughout the feeding session.

|-
|02:13
|Mother should uncover the breast from which she wants to feed the baby.

|-
|02:19
|She should ensure not to put pressure of her bra or blouse on the breast.

|-
|02:26
|After sitting comfortably, bring the baby to the mother.

|-
|02:31
|Mother should hold her baby's head with the hand opposite to the breast that she will feed from.

|-
|02:39
|The baby’s legs should be tucked under the mother’s armpit of the same hand.

|-
|02:45
|The mother in this picture, will be feeding her baby from her right breast. Therefore, the baby’s legs are tucked under her left armpit.

|-
|02:57
|She is using the thumb and fingers of her left hand to hold the lower part of her baby’s head.

|-
| 03:05
|If the mother wants additional support to lift the baby- she can keep a pillow under the baby on her lap.

|-
|03:15
|Remember, the mother should never bring the breast to the baby by bending her back.

|-
|03:21
|This will make her uncomfortable and cause back pain.

|-
|03:26
|She should always keep her back straight and elevate the baby to reach her breast.

|-
|03:33
|Next, let us see the correct position of mother’s thumb and fingers.

|-
|03:39
|Mother’s thumb should be behind one ear, and rest of the fingers behind the other ear of the baby.

|-
|03:46
|She should not move her fingers or thumb from behind the ear to the baby’s neck.

|-
|03:52
|Her wrist should rest between the baby’s shoulder blades.

|-
|03:56
|She should not apply pressure on the back of the baby’s head with her hand.

|-
|04:04
|This will keep the baby comfortable while feeding.

|-
|04:08
|Next, let us learn how to position baby’s body correctly.

|-
|04:15
|The baby’s stomach should gently press against the mother’s body.

|-
|04:20
|Lesser distance between their bodies will reduce the baby’s effort to reach the breast.

|-
|04:26
|And it will become easier for the baby to attach deeply.

|-
|04:32
|The second point in positioning is the baby’s body alignment.

|-
|04:37
|When we eat food, our head, neck and body are always in a straight line.

|-
|04:43
|But, while breastfeeding, the baby’s head is often turned sideways by many mothers.

|-
|04:50
|This will make feeding uncomfortable for the baby.

|-
|04:55
|Baby’s head, neck and body should always be in a straight line while breastfeeding.

|-
|05:01
|This will make swallowing milk easier for the baby.

|-
|05:05
|Now we come to the third point in positioning the baby’s body.

|-
|05:10
|The mother should support the full body of her baby.

|-
|05:14
|Otherwise the baby will have to take a lot of effort to attach deeply to the breast.

|-
|05:22
|Next, let’s look at the position of the baby’s nose and chin.

|-
|05:28
|Baby’s nose should be in line with the nipple.

|-
|05:33
|And her chin should be forward and very close to the breast.

|-
|05:38
|This will ensure that the baby takes in more of the lower part of the areola while latching.

|-
|05:45
|And therefore, will use the lower jaw to drink more milk efficiently.

|-
|05:51
|Please note- Areola is the dark area around the nipple.

|-
| 05:57
|Now that the baby is positioned correctly, let us learn how to hold the breast.

|-
|06:04
|Using the fingers of her other hand, the mother should cup her breast underneath in a U shape hold.

|-
|06:12
|The mother in this picture will use her right hand to hold her right breast.
|-
|06:19
|To understand the correct position of thumb and fingers, Imagine the nipple to be the center of a clock on the mother’s right breast.

|-
|03:31
|Mother should place her right thumb at 9’O clock position on this clock.

|-
|06:38
|While her right index finger and middle finger should be placed at 3’O clock position.

|-
|06:46
|The fingers should be always parallel to the baby’s lips.

Why?

|-
|06:51
|Let’s understand this using a simple example.

|-
|06:56
|When we eat a vada pav or burger, our mouth and lips open horizontally.

|-
|07:02
|We hold the vada pav or burger horizontally to take a big bite.

|-
|07:08
|Here, the thumb and fingers are placed parallel to the lips.

|-
|07:12
|If we hold the vada pav or burger vertically, we won’t be able to take a big bite.

|-
|07:19
|Similarly, observe the direction of baby’s lips.

|-
|07:25
|The lips are vertical here. Therefore, the fingers and thumb should also be positioned vertically on the breast.

|-
|07:34
|This will help the baby to take a big part of the areola in her mouth.

|-
|07:39
|Apart from being parallel to the baby’s lips, mother’s thumb and fingers should always be at a distance of 3 fingers from the nipple.

|-
|07:50
|Again, while eating a vada pav or burger, If we hold it too close, our fingers will block our mouth from taking a big bite.

|-
|08:00
|If we hold it too far away, it will not be shaped correctly to fit in our mouth.

|-
|08:07
|Therefore, we hold it at the right distance to take a big bite.

|-
|08:12
|Similarly for the baby, the right distance is of 3 fingers from the nipple, as shown in this picture.

|-
|08:20
|This distance will ensure that- mother’s fingers do not block the baby from taking a big part of the areola in her mouth

|-
| 08:29
|Mother does not compress only the nipple which will give very little milk

|-
|08:35
|Mother compresses the larger milk ducts beneath the areola to express more milk out

|-
|08:42
|And the breast is shaped correctly to help the baby attach deeply.

|-
|08:49
|Mother’s thumb should be 3 fingers away from the nipple on the side of the breast where the baby’s nose is present.

|-
|08:59
|And her 2 fingers should be at a distance of 3 fingers from the nipple on the side of the breast where baby’s chin is present.

|-
|09:09
|Let’s go back to the example of vada pav or burger.

|-
|09:13
|After holding the vada pav or burger correctly, we always compress it to take a big bite.

|-
|09:21
|Similarly, the mother should lightly compress her breast in a U shape hold from the bottom.

|-
|09:28
|This will help the baby to take a big part of the breast in her mouth.

|-
|09:34
|But remember, Mother should not compress her breast in a V shape.

|-
|09:39
|V shape compression will pinch the breast and cause nipple feeding.

|-
|09:45
|Also make sure that there is equal compression of the breast with the thumb and the fingers.

|-
|09:52
|Otherwise,the nipple will shift either to the right or the left side and lead to poor attachment.

|-
|10:00
|Remember, Never bring the breast to the baby by pushing it sideways towards the baby.

|-
|10:08
|Always bring the baby towards the breast.

|-
|10:12
|Now, the baby is in Cross Cradle hold and ready to latch on for breastfeeding.

|-
|10:18
|The correct latching technique is explained in another tutorial in the same series.

|-
|10:24
|Once the baby is latched on correctly and if the breast is not too heavy then- mother should release her breast from her hand and bring her hand underneath the baby for support.
|-
|10:40
|In this position, mother should bring both her arms very close to her body.
|-
|10:46
|This will keep her comfortable during breastfeeding.

|-
|10:50
|This brings us to the end of this tutorial.

|-
|10:54
