A neutral inline position or "sniff position," as if the baby lifted his or her head slightly to smell something in the air. A full head-tilt chin-lift, as performed with adults, will cut off the baby's airway. Hold the head in this position while delivering chest compressions and breaths.

You feel most kicks on your lower left what position is the baby in?

Can you feel the head or arms as well? The baby could either be lying down along the bottom of your uterus, so legs at lower left side and head at lower right side. Are you carrying quite low? If you are, then I expect that's the position the baby is in. If not, the baby could be at diagonals, with his/her feet at the lower left side and head at the top right
