Mastering the Art of the Breastfeeding Latch
A successful breastfeeding latch is crucial for both mom and baby. It ensures proper milk transfer, prevents nipple pain, and promotes milk production. To achieve a good latch, position your baby close to your breast, support your breast with a C-hold, and tickle your baby’s lips to stimulate their rooting reflex. Observe for signs of a good latch, such as a wide mouth opening, deep latch, and comfortable feeding. If you encounter challenges, don’t hesitate to seek help from a lactation consultant.
