Breastfeeding 101 – A New Mom’s Guide

Breastfeeding expert Jada Shapiro demonstrates the basics of latching and guides new moms to make breastfeeding a painless experience. Learn the best way to get an ideal latch while nursing.

One of the biggest mistakes people make when latching is they put the baby’s lips directly on the nipple and expect that to create the right latch. This can cause a lot of pain if the baby’s directly latched on the nipple. That compresses the nipple, causing it to get smushed and smashed. We don’t call it nipplefeeding, it’s breastfeeding. When you solve the pain of breastfeeding, the milk production goes up and that’s better for everybody.
