How do you know if your baby has a good latch while breastfeeding? In this quick expert tip, Carina Bassin, R.N., a lactation consultant with UC Davis Health, explains the key signs of a proper latch, including comfort for both parent and baby, a wide open mouth, and taking in more than just the nipple.

You’ll also learn what to watch for if something isn’t right—like increasing pain during feeds or nipple changes such as creasing or damage—and when to seek help. This short offers clear, practical guidance to help new parents feel more confident and supported during breastfeeding.
