Quite a few folks emailed me to ask about asymmetrical latch. Our own
Andrea Eastman did a wonderful job describing it in her Leaven article,
available on the web.

For tongue tied babies, or babies with short jaws, I like to use this
latch and make it very off center, with the lower lip and tongue tip as
far from the base of the nipple as possible.
