How do I get my baby to latch on while breastfeeding?

If your child is having a hard time latching on while breastfeeding, it could be caused by a number of reasons. He may not be fully awake and stimulated. You can help keep him alert by removing his clothes, which will wake him up in a hurry.

He also may have trouble if you have inverted nipples (that's when not enough of the nipple is exposed for your baby to latch on to). You can use plastic devices found in pharmacies that fit into your bra to help stretch the skin around the areola, which causes the nipple to poke out. If you do have inverted nipples, it's best to start using these devices in the third trimester -- though nature often works itself out, so this may not be necessary.

Also, you'll want to be on the lookout for white spots that may develop on your baby's tongue. That's called thrush, a type of yeast infection that may hinder him from eating well. Thrush is easily treated with nystatin liquid.

The prescription antifungal medication is administered as a 1.25 milliliter squirt onto the tongue (or tongue and cheeks if you see white plaques there too) four times a day.

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.
