Which hold insures that the mother and the baby are belly-to-belly and that the baby is not facing upward?
  1. The C hold
  2. The cradle hold
  3. The cross-cradle hold
  4. The prone hold
Explanation
Answer: B - The cradle hold is to make sure that the mother and the baby are belly-to-belly and that the baby is not facing upward. For the C hold, support your breast like the way you hold a hamburger, only upside down. With the cross-cradle hold, you will want to use pillows to support the baby and your arms. In the over-the-shoulder prone hold, you lay flat on your back with the baby facing your breasts, but their feet facing yours. This is usually recommended for heavy-set women, or women with large breasts.
