Tips for comfortable latching!
If you’ve ever dreaded the next latch because of the sting or pinch — or found yourself hunching, sweating, and repositioning endlessly — you’re not alone. A painful latch can make even the most determined parent want to throw in the towel.
But breastfeeding isn’t supposed to be painful. A few thoughtful adjustments can turn those tense moments into comfortable, confident feeding.
Try focusing on:
• Bringing baby to you instead of leaning forward
• Aiming your ni**le towards baby's nose
• Waiting for a wide mouth
• Hugging baby towards you with tummy to tummy positioning
Comfort is a skill, not luck.
You can problem-solve an easier, pain-free latch with an in-home, insurance-covered lactation consultant who supports you in a calm, sustainable way. Nurture consultants are here to teach you the skills that will bring your version of comfort and confidence to feeding your baby.
