How do I position my baby at the breast?

Breastfeeding is natural; nature’s most perfect system is specifically designed to enable each mother to nourish and nurture her baby. Breastfeeding is also a learned activity. Mothers need information, encouragement and sometimes help to learn how to breastfeed. Learning how to properly position and latch the baby onto the breast will endure a good start to a healthy relationship. It will also help prevent the discomfort of sore nipples and assure that the baby will stimulate the breast correctly to receive and maintain an adequate supply of milk.
