Proper latching on
How to One on
breast feed One
o Check your latching position discussion
Before you start, and
whichever breastfeeding
position you choose, make sure
your baby’s head, neck and spine
are aligned, not twisted. His chin
should be up, not dropped towards
his chest. Make sure you feel
comfortable too – you could use
pillows or cushions to support your
back, arms or baby.1

One
o Encourage your baby to open
discussion
his mouth
Hold your baby close, your nipple
level with his nose. Touch your
nipple gently against his upper lip
to encourage him to open his mouth
wide. The wider his mouth is, the
easier it will be to get a good
latch on.1

o Bring your baby to your discussion
breast

Once your baby has opened his reastfeeding/mums-
mouth wide and has brought his journey/breastfeeding-latch
tongue over his bottom gum, bring
him on to your breast, aiming your
nipple towards the top of his mouth.
Your baby’s chin should be the first
thing that touches your breast. He
should take a large portion of your
areola into his mouth, with his
bottom lip and jaw covering more
of the underneath of the areola.1 It’s
OK if you see part of your areola
isn’t inside his mouth – we all have
different-sized areolae and
different-sized babies! Some mums
find that gently shaping their breast
at the same time as bringing their
baby on to feed helps. Experiment
and see what works.

o Keep your baby close One 10 minutes
discussion
during latch on
Remember mums all have different
breast shapes and nipple positions,
so you may not always have that
‘textbook’ latch. Whenever
possible, keep your baby close to
you, with his chin in contact with
your breast. Newborn baby’s noses
are turned up so they can breathe
easily while attached to the breast,
and can learn to coordinate sucking
and breathing with ease.
Signs of a good latch
