What is the general consensus on whether the top lip must be flanged in order to qualify as an adequate latch?  I had historically been taught that both lips must be flanged in order to obtain an ideal latch, but recently read that the top lip may not be flanged but in a neutral position. I know more importance is placed on the sucking and swallowing, but I know a mother who has been told she always needs to flip out her baby's top lip to improve muscle memory if she wants a good latch. Thoughts? Evidence? Thanks!
