Which position starts with the baby’s nose facing the nipple?
  1. Rocker position
  2. Cradle position
  3. Nose to nipple position
  4. The cross-cradle position
Explanation
Answer: C - With the nose to nipple position the baby begins with their nose facing the nipple. The rocker motion of the jaw is associated with the transfer of milk. In the cradle posture, the mother supports the baby with the same arms as the breast they are feeding on. With the cross-cradle posture, the mother holds the baby in the arm that is opposite of the breast. The side-laying hold allows the mother to lie down and hold the baby comfortably.
