>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.
