In the Australian hold, your baby is held vertically and straddles
your thigh, facing you. Your knee supports your baby on his or her bottom,
while one hand is low on the baby's head to give control as you bring your baby
to the breast to latch. The other hand (on the side opposite from the breast
being used) supports and narrows the breast to help the baby form a good, deep
latch on the areola.
