Val, > Baby at first too lethargic to suck, now cries for a feed, good oral > searching,latchs on and promptly falls off. First thing that came to my mind was, Is mom supporting her breast for this baby? I have seen many moms who latch baby on and then let go of breast. Baby will either fall off or slide to the tip of nipple. Her breast size can help you determine how crucial it is for her to mantain the support of her breast. Also, is the weight of the breast on the baby's chin causing baby to fall off? A dancer hold may help. Assunta Osterholt, IBCLC So. suburbs of Chicago
