Breastfeeding- Do you ever feel like your smothering him?
When I breastfeed, I am always afraid that his nose is being blocked from breathing. (boob up his nose lol)
But my lactation consultant says hes fine. Even if she is right, I’ll push myself away from his nose just to make sure he can breath.
Do you ever worry about this or should I stop being so worried? lol
lmao!!! I cant believe I asked that. I laughed after I read it again.
Hi, I’m a breastfeeding peer counselor.
I was worried about the same thing with both of my kids whom I breastfed for 15 and 18mos. Just this past year I have learned new information about how the baby should be latched. It’s called the “asymmetrical latch.”
Here is a video that shows the asymmetrical latch.

The new way to latch actually allowes the baby to get milk more efficiently and it helps to keep the baby’s nose from being smothered. This new way of latching is being put in all the new information about breastfeeding.
