How can you start breast feeding with flat nipple when your baby is not latching on?
Make sure you are comfortable and that the baby is well positioned. If he is newborn, using conveniently placed pillows may help. Dip a facecloth into cold water and rub the nipple on the breast that you are going to offer first, until the nipple stands up.Then, hold the nipple between your fingers and make it into a biscuit shape. Now you need to stimulate the baby's rooting reflex by stroking his cheek gently with the nipple. He will turn towards the nipple and try to latch on.Don't touch his other cheek with your finger, because he will become confused and turn his head from left to right in a frantic attempt to find the nipple and the mother may think he is refusing the breast, when actually the very opposite is happening. He must have the rooting reflex stimulated on ONLY one cheek at a time.Don't try to put the nipple straight in his mouth, because he won't take it that way. Nature has put the rooting reflex in the cheek.
