The problem is that many of our NYC hospital nurses have not yet learned the asymmetrical latch (just plain latch to you Australian and British folks, but we've finally gotten it "right".) It would confuse any mom to be told two different things, and have one of them dismissed. When I need to teach something different than mom learned postpartum, I tell them that what they learned was generic, and my job is to look at both her and her baby and come up with something individualized and helpful.
