The newborn is small in size, other breastfeeding methods, because the baby’s mouth and breast position can not be perfectly matched (direction or height can not be stitched), may not be well milked, then the mother will involuntarily take a reasonable posture Let the baby reach. As a result, the mother who was originally in recovery period hurt her shoulders and waist, and she suffered from backache during the day.
