>Can the latch of a ten
>month old be corrected?
Well I would think so! I was able to correct a lazy latch from my almost 2
yo when he was 18 months. I have found that usually this problem is from
laziness over time. Mom doesn't recognize it right away, it happens to get
worse over time and then all of a sudden it is very painful to nurse. For
me, once I figured out what he was doing and that it was partially my fault
for not paying enough attention (sometimes when nursing a toddler, you are
doing many other things at the same time), I just made sure he opened wide,
and when he wasn't latched on right I made him get off and try again.
