Hold your baby with their head and body in a straight line.
Hold your baby close to you and support their neck, back and shoulders. Your baby should be able to tilt their head back easily, and they shouldn’t have to reach out to feed.
Place your baby’s nose opposite your nipple.
Let your baby’s head tip back a little so that their top lip can brush against your nipple. This should help your baby to make a wide-open mouth.
When your baby’s mouth opens wide, their chin should be able to touch your breast first, with their head tipped back so that their tongue can reach as much breast as possible.
Once your baby has latched on, their nose should be clear and their cheeks should look full and rounded as they feed.
