Is a baby latching on? How to tell

Signs of a Good Suck

The following are signs that the baby is sucking properly at the breast.

  • Upon initial latch baby will begin to suck quickly
  • These quick sucks will trigger mothers letdown reflex.
  • Baby’s sucking will become longer and a suck-suck-pause pattern should develop as the milk lets down.
  • Baby’s ear and temple will wiggle with each suck.
  • Mother should feel a gentle tugging, but no pain.
