What is the differences between a shallow latch and a deep latch, and why a deep latch is preferred?

Hi Jessica! The key difference between a shallow latch and a deep latch is that a deep, correct latch is NOT painful. For first-time mums just after labour, you may feel some tugging when breastfeeding but it shouldn't hurt, like a raw wound. Getting a deep latch is so crucial for establishing and protecting your milk supply, and also helping your baby get to the calorie-rich hindmilk which helps with weight gain. Thus, deep latch is always preferred; it makes such a great impact on your breastfeeding experience overall. Hope this explains!
