Q.

My baby is latching only on half of the areola. I have no pain. Baby is also gaining weight. But feeling like he is not able to empty the breast. How can I make him latch on the full breast?

A. Madam you understand the child is full gaining weight this is fine but if the child is small right now and the age will progress if child is going to take a proper feeding to empty the breast right now as you say the child is gaining proper weight so there is no problem in the way or the pattern of the feeding of the child so need not worry about this is completely normal and natural
