WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO GET A BABY STARTED NURSING AT THE BREAST?       Be comfortable and relaxed. Hold baby close so the mouth touches the nipple. Usually the mouth flies open and after a little exploring the nipple is found, and the rest is automatic. Let the baby get as much of the breast in his mouth as possible. This is more comfortable for the mother, and makes a better suction seal for the baby so less air is swallowed. Just think … no formula to fix … and no bottles to wash!
