nowadays,...so many babies out there were died because of choking,...poor little baby,..For mothers out there ,you guys must know how to breast feed your baby to prevent choking,...

No matter what latch and positioning look like, the true measure is in the answers to these two questions:

1. Is it effective?
2. Is it comfortable?

Even if latch and positioning look perfect (and, yes, even if a lactation consultant told you they were fine), pain and/or ineffective milk transfer indicate that there is a problem somewhere, and the first suspect is ineffective latch/positioning.



                   
If baby is transferring milk and gaining weight well, and mom is not hurting, then latch and positioning are – by definition – good, even if it’s nothing like the “textbook” latch and positioning that you’ve seen in books.
“Rules and regulations have no place in the mother-baby relationship. Each mother and baby dyad is different and what works well for one mother and baby may not work well for another mother and baby. The important thing to do is to look at the mother and baby as individuals.”–

Following are some of my favorite resources on latch and positioning:
