Positioning: The baby's head and body should be aligned, and they should be facing the breast directly. The mother can use different breastfeeding positions such as the cradle hold, cross-cradle hold, or football hold. Awareness: The baby should open their mouth wide before latching. The mother can help by gently touching the baby's lips with her nipple to encourage them to open their mouth. Attachment: The baby should take a large portion of the areola into their mouth, not just the nipple. The baby's chin should touch the breast, and their nose should be free for breathing.
