Are latch issues only related to the baby's positioning, or can other maternal factors also contribute to latching problems?

Hi there! There are so many factors that may cause latch issues from both newborn and maternal sides. For newborns, latch issues are mainly due to incorrect positioning, poor latch technique (shallow latch) and possibly anatomical as well. On the maternal side, there may also be anatomical concerns such as short or inverted nipples, surgery to the breasts and/or nipples, medical conditions and even stress. If you are facing challenges with breastfeeding or latching, do work with a professional to resolve it! With the right help, most mums are able to continue to breastfeed successfully. All the best!
