a. The cradle position usually is preferred by mothers who had a cesarean birth.
b. Women with perineal pain and swelling prefer the modified cradle position.
c. Whatever the position used, the infant is "belly to belly" with the mother.
d. While supporting the head, the mother should push gently on the occiput.
ANS: C
The infant inevitably faces the mother, belly to belly. The football position usually is preferred after cesarean birth. Women with perineal pain and swelling prefer the side-lying position because they can rest while breastfeeding. The mother should never push on the back of the head. It may cause the baby to bite, hyperextend the neck, or develop an aversion to being brought near the breast.
