Does this latch look correct? I’m 4 days into breastfeeding, nipples are sore and I think my milk is coming in but hard to tell if baby is getting what he needs!

Question

Answer

Looks good to me. Your nipples will be sore for a bit. They have to get used to nursing. 
Only way to tell if baby is getting enough is having enough wet diapers in a day, gaining weight, and seeming satisfied after nursing

Answer

Yes it looks good, i always got told that babies lips need to look like two pringle duck lips and it worked amazing for my lil boy 😘 keep up the good work mama xx

Answer

Looks good to me! I wasn't always sure at the beginning either my baby boy is now 3 weeks old I'm also a ftm and there are still some days where ill feel some discomfort as much as they say there shouldn't be any pain, it's still a baby sucking on your nipples they need time to get used to it and toughen up. The first week I had bad blisters on both until my milk came in and once it did I found things much easier and they went away. You'll also be able to tell a bit more that they're getting what they need once the milk comes in. Keep going mama you got this !

Answer

Lips are flanged outward, looks good to me. It generally feels like a sharp pain if they aren't latched correctly, and your nipples would be blistering and cracking.
If baby seems satisfied after getting off the breast they're getting enough 😊
