How should my baby´s tongue by postioned?

Positioning of Baby's Tongue

Your baby's tongue should be visibly cupping your breast. This is often very difficult to see for yourself. Ask your partner to check the positioning of your baby's tongue during a feed to be sure it is cupped underneath the breast as she nurses. If she is sucking on her tongue it may not be visible.
