Dear Lactnet Friends:

Kika wrote. . ."However, the point of my first post was that a pediatrician
said to me: if some babies have an awful looking latch, but breastfeeding
is working, where is the evidence that incorrect latch is the cause of
pain, and pain resolves when latch is corrected? "


That pediatrician missed the point. The latch could look awful AND the
mother is free of pain.

It's when there is pain that we offer help and suggestions, most often (but
not always) involving latch and positioning.

Or did I miss something?

warmly,
