“…The present study strongly supported by a comparative study on maternal comfort between two breastfeeding positions published by Bency and Maria in 2014. 20 It was a quasiexperimental two-group posttest designed study. In this study, majority of the patients' age group (50% in each group) belonged to 26 to 30 years.…”

Introduction Breastfeeding is not a choice but it is a responsibility. While breastfeeding may not seem the right choice for every parent, it is the best choice for every baby. Antenatal education motivates the mothers who are undergoing Cesarean section to prepare themselves, so as to establish a wonderful efficient latch. The aim of this study was to conclude which breastfeeding position may be the best choice for the mother with Caesarean section. The objectives of the study were (1) to identify the maternal comfort and infant feeding behaviors in groups 1 and 2, (2) to compare the maternal comfort and infant feeding behaviors between the groups, and (3) to find the association between maternal comforts with selected demographic characteristics. The literature also very well supports that especially the mothers with Cesarean section achieve very good maternal comfort, greater satisfaction, and favorable infant feeding behaviors in side-lying position. Thus, the researcher attempts to compare the cradle hold and side-lying breastfeeding position in terms of maternal comfort and efficient latch. Materials and Methods An evaluative research approach was used and the design selected for the study was quasiexperimental for two groups posttest only. Sample comprised of 70 antenatal mothers with elective Cesarean section (35 in each group) admitted at K.S. Hegde Hospital in Deralakatte, Mangalore. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the samples. Data were collected by using demographic proforma, maternal comfort rating scale, and infant behavior checklist. Results The results of the study shows that there was significant difference in the mean posttest scores between cradle hold and side-lying breastfeeding position. Mothers from the side-lying breastfeeding position group showed higher maternal comfort, mean posttest score, and favorable infant feeding behaviors than the cradle hold breastfeeding position. The independent sample t test revealed that the calculated t value for maternal comfort and infant feeding behaviors within the group and between the group less than the table value t (0.05, 68 = −2.042). Conclusion This study explores that mothers with Cesarean section show greater maternal comfort and favorable infant feeding behaviors in side-lying breastfeeding position between the groups and within the groups than the cradle hold.

“…Both the position was equally effective for breastfeeding in terms of increased comfort of primiparous women. [9] In this study it has observed that there was highly statistically signi cant difference in mean and median of latch scores on day 1, day 2, day 3 between two positions.Study results showed that mean Latch scores in cradle breastfeeding position on day 1, day 2, day 3 were 8.67,8.84,9.01 and in cross cradle breast feeding positions on day 1, day 2, day 3 were 9.3,9.42,9.6. Smitha et al observed their study that mean Latch scores on day 1, day 2, day 3 in cradle breast feeding positions were 6.62,10.65,13.14 respectively.…”

Objectives- Common breastfeeding (BF) positions are side-lying, cradle hold, cross cradle hold, football, laid-back. The literature to compare different BF positions in terms of maternal comfort is scarce. This study was conducted to see the effect of two BF positions, cradle and cross cradle, on weight pattern and urine frequency along with maternal comfort and latch score.Study Design- Randomised controlled trial is performed in 200 mother newborn dyads of gestational age between 36–40 weeks and weight loss pattern, maternal comfort and latch score compared between the two groups.Results- Study observed that the mean distribution of urinary flow was statistically highly significant (p value < 0.001) in cross cradle group. Cross cradle breastfeeding position showed higher maternal comfort score and latch score than cradle breastfeeding position.Conclusion- This study explores that cross cradle breastfeeding position is better in terms of maternal comfort and latch score than cradle breastfeeding position.
