1. Put your thumb on top of your breast and other fingers below the breast.Dont touch the arelo (dark skin around your nipple) because this is where your baby's lips will be.

4. To make sure your baby is latched on the correct position, check the lips of the baby, it should be pout out (not be pulled in over his gums) and cover nearly all of the areola.

7. Your baby's nose may touch your breast during nursing.If you fear that your baby cant breathe, gently press down your breast near baby's nose to give him more room to breathe.
