How can I tell if my newborn is properly latched on during breastfeeding?

When you hold your baby's mouth to your breast, you should hear a transition from short, quick sucks to long, slow, deep gulps, during which you can hear swallowing and see his jaw moving up and down. When that transition occurs, you will often feel a tingly sensation in your breasts. This is the "letdown reflex," and it means that your milk is flowing freely to your baby.

Apart from a sharp pain deep in your breast when your baby first latches on (it usually goes away within the first few weeks), breast feeding should not be painful. If it is, check to make sure that your baby is properly latched on: His mouth should be wide open, covering most of the areola. If he's not latched on, gently put your finger inside his mouth, breaking the suction, and try again.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
