Double-clutch or double-football hold

Illustration showing the double-clutch or double-football hold

To breast-feed two babies at once, you might use the double-clutch or double-football hold position. In this position, you'll hold each baby in a clutch or football hold under your arms. Make sure each baby lies on his or her back with his or her head at the level of your nipple. Place the palm of one hand at the base of each baby's head to provide support.
