First
Latch
How to achieve
the "asymmetrical" latch. Shows
some drinking by the baby (see Third Latch
for more obvious drinking), some nibbling.
Second
Latch, Some Compression
Baby is mostly
nibbling at the breast. Compression is being
used to get the baby to drink more. Another
"asymmetric" latch is shown. Note
that after re-latching the baby drinks better
than before, and compression is not necessary
to get the baby to drink.
Third
Latch
Shows baby latching
on with "asymmetric" latch. Then
later, video shows the baby getting milk.
The pause in the chin tells us when the
baby is getting milk and the absence of
the pause means the baby is not getting
milk. The pause can be seen even on the
very first day of life, though obviously
not as obviously, as the more milk the baby
gets, the longer the pause. The pause does
not represent swallowing, but rather the
baby's mouth filling up with milk.
Compression
The technique
of compression is demonstrated, and it can
be seen that the baby drinks more milk as
the breast is compressed. The mother starts
the compression as the baby sucks, but does
not get milk. It is important to work with
the baby and compress only when the baby
is sucking (moving his/her mouth).
Compression,
nibbles, open eyes
Young babies
tend to fall asleep at the breast when the
flow of milk slows. This clip shows that
as the baby gets more milk, the baby opens
up her eyes. The technique of compression
is shown.
Shift
to asymmetric-1
This clip shows
how, by pushing in the baby's bottom with
her forearm (with help), the mother moves
the baby around into a more "asymmetric"
latch, gets the baby to drink more (more
obvious "pauses" at the point
of the chin). The mother's right hand should
be palm up under the baby's face, rather
than on the baby's shoulder.
Shift
to asymmetric-2
The mother shifts
the baby around on her own, at about 30
seconds and 38 seconds into the clip, with
the baby obviously starting to drink more
once she is positioned more asymmetrically.
Lactation
Aid
Shows how to
use lactation aid. Note that when it is
working, the baby shows he is getting more
milk because the pause in the chin is more
obvious. In the second attempt to use the
lactation aid, though the tube seems to
be well placed, it is not. The baby was
not getting more milk, as there were no
pauses in the chin. Fiddling with the tube
gets the baby drinking again. The lactation
aid does not work well if the baby is poorly
latched on and/or the tube is poorly placed,
but it can be made to work well with practice.
