Getting a comfortable latch

A good latch is deep, not shallow โ€” and it shouldn't hurt. These four videos show the difference.

Holding your baby

Positions and handling

There's no single right way. Try a few and keep the one that feels easiest on your body.

When it isn't working

Sore, full, or not transferring milk

These are common and fixable. If a video doesn't sort it out within a day or two, come and see us.

Don't wait it out if you're in pain. A red, hot, painful area with fever and chills can be mastitis and needs to be seen. Call us, call Health811 at 811, or see your doctor.

Know your rights

In Ontario, you have the right to breastfeed your baby in any public place. No one can ask you to cover up, move to another area, or leave. Your rights are protected under the Ontario Human Rights Code.
