Mastering the Latch: Essential Tips for Correct Breastfeeding Technique

Latching on is a crucial part of breastfeeding that can determine the success and comfort of the entire process. Correct latching on ensures that your baby is getting enough milk and prevents sore nipples. To latch on correctly, ensure that your baby's mouth is wide open, and the nipple is pointed towards their nose. Keep your baby's head and body in a straight line, and support their neck and shoulders. Avoid pulling or pushing your baby's head, and wait for them to open their mouth wide before latching on. It may take some practice, but with patience and persistence, you can master the art of correct latching on and enjoy a comfortable and successful breastfeeding experience.
