Trying two breastfeeding holds during a visit can show which one a baby seems to prefer. On my Breastfeeding Positions — Lactation Consultant NYC page (https://www.breastfeedingwithlove.com/breastfeeding-positions), a parent describes trying the cradle and football holds with me and finding that her baby liked the cradle hold better.
That comparison matters when discussing positioning: it gives us a specific response to work from, rather than assuming one hold will suit every feeding.
