POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. If your one-month-old baby is unable to latch properly, it can be challenging, but with patience and support, it can improve. Difficulty latching may be due to factors like improper positioning, a shallow latch, or sometimes issues like tongue tie. Try holding your baby in different breastfeeding positions like the cross-cradle or football hold, making sure her mouth is wide open and covering more of the areola, not just the nipple. Skin-to-skin contact can also help improve latching instinct. Expressing a little milk before feeding may make it easier for your baby to latch on. If latching continues to be a struggle, consider consulting a lactation consultant who can guide you with hands-on techniques and check for any physical issues like tongue tie. In the meantime, you can pump and feed expressed breast milk to maintain your supply. You're doing great—these early challenges do get better with time and support.
