Now, get the baby to open up his mouth wide. When breast feeding the way to do this is to run your nipple, still pointing to the roof of the baby’s mouth, along the baby’s mouth, very lightly, from one corner of the mouth to the other. Or you can run the baby along your nipple, something some mothers find easier. Wait for the baby to open up as if yawning. As you bring the baby toward the breast, his chin should touch your breast first.
When the baby opens up his mouth, use the arm that is holding him to bring him onto the breast. Don’t worry about the baby’s breathing. If he is properly positioned and latched on, he will breathe without any problem. If he cannot breathe, he will pull away from the breast. Don’t be afraid to be vigorous.Thats all there is to it , any questions.Leave a comment and sign up for our feed on the right.
