I used the football hold full time with all three of my babies, I must be weird LOL, but I just couldn't do the cradle hold comfortably. I fed DD using the football hold until she was 15 months old .

I used a triangle pillow with a pillow behind my back and their legs just wrapped around me.

I've always wondered if I'm the only person who only ever did the football hold!

P.S - Your new name cracks me up!
