Abstract: The infant support system provides a method for enabling a nursing mother to breastfeed a baby without using her hands to hold the baby. In one embodiment of the invention the mother is seated on a chair or rocker and a support pillow is placed across the mother's lap. A relatively small pillow is placed on the support pillow below the mother's nursing breast. The baby is then positioned on its side on the support pillow such that its head is supported on the relatively small pillow in alignment with the mother's nursing breast. Another relatively small pillow is placed behind the baby's back to stabilize the position of the baby while the baby is nursing. In another embodiment of the invention the mother is in a reclining position on a mattress and a relatively small pillow is used to support the baby's head in alignment with the nursing breast of the nursing mother, and another relatively small pillow is placed behind the baby's back to stabilize the position of the baby while the baby is nursing.
