YOUR LBB JOURNEY
Redefining the way you breastfeed
Experience a new era of comfort, bonding, and joy when practicing laid-back breastfeeding (LBB)
WHAT IS LBB?
Laid-back breastfeeding (LBB), is a technique in which you lean back comfortably and relaxed, while Baby feeds on top of you on his/her tummy in full contact with your body. Also referred to as Biological Nurturing, this technique is an evidence-based approach that provides proven benefits for both Mum and Baby. These were first systematically studied by Suzanne Colson (RM, PhD) in 2008.
As you recline, gravity becomes your friend, enabling both you and Baby to use your beneficial innate instincts and reflexes.
Breastfeeding becomes a joyful exchange with long-lasting effects!
Benefits for Baby
- Latches naturally with Mum's help
- Expresses innate reflexes freely
- Self-regulates milk flow
- Extends tummy time
- Smooths transition into the world
Ultimate comfort for Mum
- Fully supports neck, arms and back
- Reduces nipple soreness
- Promotes baby gazing and bonding
- Increases milk let-down (b/c increases oxytocin)
More cuddle-time and joy for both!

PRACTISING LAID-BACK BREASTFEEDING (LBB) IN MINITEMBO BESTFEEDING NEST IS A NATURAL AND INSTINCTIVE WAY TO FEED AND INTERACT WITH BABY
Put your Bestfeeding Nest on your bed, couch or floor, and sit in it.
This comfy seat provides you with complete support to be in the optimal reclined position for LBB - where gravity will help you keep Baby’s body supported by yours.
Set up your Nest and place Baby on you
Place Baby tummy down on top of you.
Baby’s whole front needs to be in contact with your body (not sideways as in upright positions). Baby’s feet and thighs must be in contact with a surface (e.g. your legs or seat). You should be able to have at least one arm free at all times to help you adjust yours or Baby’s position. Skin-to-skin is not required for LBB.
Adjust your reclining angle to your preference
By moving your body up or down the Nest using your legs. Elevate your legs or bend them if you find this easier.
Customise the pillow height to support your neck
Make sure you can easily gaze at Baby without straining your neck.
Adjust your body
Position Baby onto your breast from the desired direction
For vaginal births, placing Baby’s feet near your thighs may be easier. For c-sections, position Baby’s body so their feet are clear of sensitive areas (in LBB, the breast can be approached from many angles).
Adjust Baby
Rest Baby's cheek on your bare breast to facilitate easy latching
Assist Baby in reaching nipple as much as needed. Remember, babies can also nurse well while in a light sleep or drowsy state.
