A member asked:
My baby is a week old and for the last two days she is refusing to latch on right nipple please can someone help and give guidance on how to get her to latch again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breastfeeding: Newborn latching problems can typically be traced to baby positioning. Try a variety of positions to see which one works. If you cannot resolve the problem with holding changes, you may need to consult a midwife or lactation consultant for evaluation. Occasionally breast shape or duct anomalies cause one breast to not function correctly. In this situation, the other breast will produce more.
