How to Ensure a Good Latch?

A good latch is crucial for effective breastfeeding. Here are some steps to ensure a proper latch:
1. Position the baby’s nose at the nipple level.
2. Wait for the baby to open their mouth wide.
3. Quickly bring the baby to the breast, ensuring the nipple and a good portion of the areola are in the baby’s mouth.
4. Check for signs of a good latch: the baby’s lips should be flared out, and you should see more of the areola above the baby’s mouth than below.
