Question

Answer

He looks like He its almost there, if he's getting milk and you have no pain her should be fine.

P.s.
This is NOT a tmi pic!!  This is a beautiful thing and if anyone has a problem with it they need to get over their self righteous ass. Lol

Answer

I would choke a child if my whole areola needing to be in...

Answer

I would definitely try to get baby to open his mouth a little wider then have him latch.. I was always told your areola should be completely unseen.. but I had a friend with huge boobs and you could always see hers but she also had issues getting her baby to latch properly and I agree with another comment NOT a TMI picture this is NATURAL

Answer

It looks a little off, like not enough of the aerola.. But know the breastfeeding shouldn't hurt you at all.. You shouldn't hear any sounds if you hear a "slurping" sound it's not a good latch. Make sure you feel the "letdown" otherwise you can get infected pretty fast.

I wanted to be a lactation consultant and have breastfed two kids.

Answer

Yes looks like it.. Just make sure bottom lip is well latched too
