Research Notes on Breastfeeding Problems: Poor Latch
Latching on refers to the infant's formation of a tight seal around the nipple and most of the areola with his or her mouth. A correct latch-on allows the infant to obtain an adequate amount of milk and helps to prevent nipple soreness and trauma. When an infant is latched correctly, the woman may feel discomfort for the first 30 to 60 seconds, which should then decrease. Continued discomfort may be a sign of a poor latch-on.
