In order to get milk from the breast, the baby must latch onto the breast. The word "latch" describes the way a baby takes the breast into his/her mouth. The better the latch, the more easily the baby gets mother's milk.
Step 1: Start baby in Kangaroo/Reset Position
Step 2: Press on baby's back, not head or neck.
Step 3: Bring baby nipple-to-nose.
Step 4: Bring baby in close, arms hugging breast.
Step 5: Thumbs up, across from baby's nose, pull away.
Step 6: Wait for "yawn", push nipple to back of baby's mouth.
Step 7: Bring arm around and relax.
Remember: Push on back so chin goes in, nose floats.
