Amanda Peters, Maternity Practitioner believes all babies should feed elevated with their head higher than their tummy, regardless of colic, reflux or any other feeding issues. Tummy to tummy positioning ensures good bonding and helps with a better latch. Babies do get heavy whilst feeding and your arms get tired, so whether breast or bottle suits, let a feeding pillow take the strain!

To celebrate the launch of the NEW Ergobaby Natural Curve Nursing Pillow, we asked our resident expert, Midwife Nikki Khan to share her top tips for supporting mums through breastfeeding.
The key to a successful, and enjoyable, breastfeed is getting the latching correct, which all comes down to positioning. If baby is in the incorrect position whilst feeding not only could there be problems with latching and sore nipples, but baby could have issues with swallowing or may develop gastric reflux, and mum can easily start to get back and arm pain.
There are lots of different positions that work brilliantly for a comfortable and successful breastfeed, whilst using a high quality nursing pillow is a must-have for ensuring optimum comfort. However, before you start thinking about positions and nursing pillows, remember these basics to a successful feed:
