The Latch
*The most important thing during breastfeeding is latching. 
*Position the baby on her side so she is directly facing you, with her belly touching yours. Next, prop up the baby with a pillow, if necessary, and hold her up to your breast; don't lean over toward her.
*Place your thumb and fingers around your areola (see step A).
*Tilt your baby's head back slightly and tickle her lips with your nipple until she opens her mouth wide (see step B).
*Help her "scoop" the breast into her mouth by placing her lower jaw on first, well below the nipple (see step C).
*Tilt her head forward, placing her upper jaw deeply on the breast. Make sure she takes the entire nipple and at least 1 & 1/2 inches of the areola in her mouth (see step D).
