This can look different, especially depending on age. But here are some general guidelines for babies: shallow latch, reflux, clicking noises while feeding, coughing, loud gulping, choking, extended feeding times, oral defensivenesses (gagging), lip blisters, frequently latching off breast or bottle, and fatigue.

•Ola was inspired by my own personal breastfeeding journey with both my little ones.
•Each letter in Ola represents my babies first letter of their name. O: Oli 👦🏼 L: Luna 🐶 A: Ari 👶🏻
•Ola in Spanish means “waves” and if you know me, you know the ocean has a special place in my heart.
•Spanish was my first language, I was born in Peru.
•Ola also sounds like “hola” which is “hi” in Spanish. I thought this was fun and welcoming!
