shallow latch but good weight gain

MrsLillyG · December 2014

Just realized at 4 weeks old that my baby has a shallow latch. But shes gained 2lbs since birth. She basically latches on deep but then closes her mouth. Any tips on fixing this??

Has she been checked for a lip or tongue tie? Do you have over active let down or over supply? Sounds like what my daughter used to do. She had both a lip and tongue tie. I also have oald causing her to back off the nipple and form a shallow latch.

I sought help from a lactation consultant.

No she has not been checked for that. Thanks!
