A. Tickle your baby's lips with your nipple. This will help baby open their mouth wide.Aim your nipple just above your baby's top lip. Make sure your baby's chin isn't tucked into their chest.Aim your baby's lower lip away from the base of your nipple.If the skin on your breasts becomes tight and your nipples flatten out, your baby may have a hard time latching on. You can soften up the skin around your nipples and areola by pumping or hand expressing a little breast milk before you begin to breastfeed. This will make it easier for your baby to latch on.
