What is latching?
Latch or latching is the term used to describe when your baby is correctly attached to your nipple correctly and is ready to nurse.
To tell if your baby has latched on correctly,
- look for alignment of your baby and their position at the breast
- Listen for your baby’s swallowing
- You may feel uterine cramps, feel drowsy, and tugging/pulling on the “latched” nipple (biting or pinching means that there is likely no feeding happening)
