Breast-feeding is all about attachment.  Having your baby latch onto your breast properly is instinct, but some babies just don’t figure it out.  For new moms having trouble positioning in just the right way, problems with attachment can lead to sore nipples, engorged breasts, and even infection.  Your pediatrician or nurse should be able to guide you, but sometimes that falls through.  If you’re searching for breast-feeding resources we recommend womenshealth.gov.

I also recommend watching the breast-feeding videos we provide here.
