"Slipping"

It seems like DS tends to slip/close down his mouth to a bad latch.  What should I do?  Does the fact that I have flatter nipples impact this?

  • I don't know about the nipples, but with my LO, the LC at the hospital told me to unlatch her and relatch. The LC said she'd learn to have a good latch in order to get the milk. GL!

    This! My LC was adamant that we unlatch and relatch every time, or you could really hurt your nips. Good Luck!
