Once the baby is attached

Once the baby is attached

The baby’s chin will be touching the breast but her/his nose should be reasonably clear.
The baby’s bottom lip will be flanged outwards and not turned inwards.
The baby will start by sucking quite quickly but when the milk starts to flow will change to rhythmic longer sucks with some short pauses. Mothers will also start to hear some swallows which will increase once the milk comes in and starts to flow more.
The baby’s cheeks should stay rounded when sucking. A dimpled look is usually a sign of an incorrect latch.
Funny little clicking noises during sucking may also be a sign that the baby needs to take more of the breast tissue into the mouth.
