Why is my baby having a hard time latching on to breastfeed?

If your child is having a hard time latching on, it could be caused by a number of reasons. For one thing, he or she may not be fully awake and stimulated. You can help keep him or her alert by removing his or her clothes, which will wake him or her up real fast.

For another, he'll have trouble if you have inverted nipples, 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 (best to start using these in the third trimester if you do have inverted nipples). 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 or her from eating well.

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.
