A member asked:
Why is my baby having a hard time latching on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Many reasons-- if baby just 1-2 days old, may just take practice. If 3-4 days old, your breasts may be so engorged w/ milk that baby cannot latch well--in this case, you can pump to make it easier for baby to latch. After 4+ days old, most latching problems are due to technique, or a difficult shaped nipple. See your doc or lactation consultant for help.
