“No chef, food company or scientist can make food as perfect for your baby, as you can. Yes, breastfeeding takes time, but the results are worth it. Your baby’s health is undoubtedly improved and it’s great for getting you back in shape. |

Step by Step Latching On - 7 quick steps Clare Boyle BSc, RM - Step 1: Position the baby correctly; tummy to tummy, nipple to nose.
- Step 2: Support your breast in C hold.
- Step 3: Stroke the baby’s mouth with your nipple.
- Step 4: Wait for the baby to open his/her mouth in a wide O.
- Step 5: Bring baby to the breast; Rapid arm movement (RAM!)
- Step 6: Wait a few seconds to see if nipple is in the mouth. There should be little or no pain/discomfort
- Step 7: Look to see if lips are folded out, lower lip especially. Check that there are no sucking/slapping noises made with lips, that the cheeks are full and rounded and the chin is tucked into breast if so - great! Baby is latched on. If not take baby off and start again.
