Attaching Your Baby at the Breast

Cómo lograr que su bebé se prenda al seno

What is a latch?

Latch is the way a baby attaches to the breast.

A good latch is important to:

  • Make sure the baby gets enough milk
  • Avoid sore nipples
  • Help your breasts make more milk

Many moms and babies may need a little help and reassurance in the beginning. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help.
