A. baby does not latch or does not suck effectively (or won't sustain a suck for more than 3 sucks even with breast compressions), then either try supplementing at the breast (see below) or stop and offer baby a little supplement (1/2 ounce or so of expressed milk or formula), and then have another try at nursing.See a lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist to make sure your baby's mouth and body are positioned correctly and that there are no other latching problems. They can also check inside your baby's mouth to see if there is a physical problem. Try different breastfeeding positions.
