Tip the nose away from breast.
That will latch the baby best.

***
Tummy to tummy, chest to chest,
Tip the nose away from breast.

***
Chin to breast and chest to me,
Head is back and nose is free.

***
Chin to breast with nipple in last:
That's the way to latch 'em fast.

***
There once was a mom from O'Hare
Whose latch was beyond all compare.
  She had babe at right breast
  With his chin off his chest
So his nose was right up in the air.

He'd take in a big hunk of breast
While she tilted her nipple northwest.
  The nip went in last
  When she brought him to brast
No wonder her latch was the best.

Okay, so they all need some work...
