A breastfeeding teaching tool using a sandwich analogy for latch-on.

Effective latch-on is central to comfortable, efficient breastfeeding. Since breastfeeding involves taking a large mouthful of an even larger object, a latch-on teaching model based on bottle-feeding or on suction alone may be inappropriate. A model based on the way in which an adult approaches a large sandwich, using a water balloon to demonstrate, can help a mother and baby achieve an effective latch-on for breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding difficulties as a result of tight lingual and labial frena: a case report.

A breastfed baby with impending failure to thrive resisted assuming a wide-mouthed, flanged-lip position at breast. A lingual frenotomy was only partly successful in correcting his breastfeeding problems. Following a labial frenectomy, the baby was better able to flange his upper lip against the breast. He then began breastfeeding with full efficiency.
