Latch-on

Latch-on
During latch-on, a baby's mouth forms a tight seal around the nipple and most of the areola (the dark skin around the nipple). Signs that your baby has a good latch-on include:
  • The top and bottom lips are wide open (like a big yawn).
  • The lower lip is turned outward against the breast.
  • The chin is touching the breast, and the nose is close to the breast.
  • The cheeks are full.
  • The tongue comes out over the lower lip during latch-on and stays below the areola during nursing.
  • You and your baby are completely comfortable during breastfeeding. You may feel some tugging and pressure, but no rubbing of your nipple or pain.
