Latch On [Video]

Video on Latching On

Latching is the process of the baby attaching herself to your breast for her feed. Your baby grasps onto the areola with the nipple well inside the mouth. She then uses her lips and tongue to suck. Your baby is usually very alert as soon as she is born and is ready to latch herself on to your breast for her first feed. You may have to help your little one to establish this latch. This video is specifically designed by Ameda, a leading manufacturer of breast pumps to help you understand the concept of latching.
