../images/Emo202.gif great video clip on how to latch
If you have sore nipples, babies who are not gaining weight, babies who are crying alot, godesh, low milk supply, or most of the other common problems in breastfeeding, it is probably becuase your baby is not latching well on the breast. Look at this video clip to see how to latch a baby on the breast. Click where it says Play video. Notice how his head should be tipped back and most of his body should be tucked tightly under your other breast where your ribs are. Note that his mouth is wide open and he takes a mouthful of breast, and the nipple is deep in the back of his mouth, far away from his tongue.
