How do you know if the baby is latching correctly? I've been using a shield and I'm trying to get…

I haven't had the pleasure of nursing yet but I hear it hurts at first but you'll get used to it sry I know that dosent help you much

@lynna0909, no I really appreciate you commenting. 😁 I haven't got to do it naturally so I understand.

If it hurts, it's not a good latch. Unlatch her and start again! It might hurt at first but it shouldn't hurt the whole feeding

I usually feel a pinch with the initial latch but then it doesn't hurt. there can be an uncomfortable feeling with let down.

@megbaby07, it shouldn't hurt. it should feel more like a tug. Try to unlatch her and latch again making sure her mouth covers entire nipple.

@haileybuttons, @wiccanmommy @kaydensmommy5 I try but she won't open fully like she is used the shield.

Try tickling her bottom lip with your nipple to get her to open wide?

@megbaby07, I agree with @haileybuttons !

Also try expressing some milk to put on her lips? Tease her a bit lol
