Baby-Led Latching

Baby-Led Latching is an approach where the baby is encouraged to position themselves and latch onto the breast naturally, rather than being guided into a specific hold by the caregiver. It involves observing the baby's cues and allowing them to find a comfortable and effective latch on their own, promoting better engagement and feeding satisfaction. This method respects the baby's innate ability to seek and connect with the breast, potentially leading to improved milk transfer, established breastfeeding routines, and a more relaxed feeding experience for both mother and baby.
