A. you need to hold the baby in proper position so that baby feels comfortable for Latching so consult with the lactation specialist who can guide you more properly about the feeding position to be maintained

A. Aim your baby's lower lip away from the base of your nipple. Baby's lips should be turned outward like a fish. Your baby should lead into the breast chin first and then latch onto your breast. Your baby's tongue should be extended, and your breast should fill your baby's mouth.
