Best Answer

You can tell if your baby is properly latched on to the breast if most of your nipple is in the baby's mouth. You should also not feel too much pain or pressure while the baby is suckling. If your baby is latched on correctly, you will also hear him/her swallowing milk. This is not directly related to your question, but you also need to make sure your baby's head is properly in line with your breast. The baby's neck should not be turned to the side, as it complicates swallowing.
