Those of you who speak Spanish, please give me some brief sentences to
explain this to mom.
I am fair at Spanish with schoolbook grammar, conversation classes, and OJT
vocabulary.
It's at the GO! point when baby opens wide, mom either pushes her breast
down or she pushes babe up, to center the nipple in babe's mouth. 
I can control this if I am holding babe, but when I turn it over to mom,
she centers the nipple.
How do you explain asymmetrical latch in Spanish, to women who have 6-8
years of schooling, if they were lucky? That is my daily reality.

effective method of demonstration.  This is especially so for sleep
deprived new mothers!

> I  grab a paper towell from the dispenser (which demonstrates a
casualness of the process) and write in big words a checklist for mum to
hold her baby:

> BOTTOM IN
> CHEST IN
> CHIN IN
> NIPPLE UP THE NOSE
> GO!

> This can sometimes be a light switch for those mums who cannot resist
starting with the mouth then positioning the rest of the baby later.
