In this series of breastfeeding videos, Dr. Jack Newman demonstrates the cross cradle hold technique, and how to latch the baby on properly. Pay close attention to what Dr. Newman describes as the “gape”, when the baby is latching on. This is the point when the breast needs to go into the mouth of the baby for milk transfer. A baby that has too shallow of a latch, will cause your breasts to become sore. That’s painful and definitely not what you want!
