Whenever I breastfeed my lo, she is unae to locate my nipple immediately. She may turn to the wrong direction, or even if I place the nipple on her lips for her to latch on easily, she will still take a while to fumble through before being able to suckle successfully. This resulted in her getting frustrated and irritated. Is this due to poor latching, or any way for improvement? Thanks.

Personally for me whenever that happens, its because baby is sleepy. I used to think that it was due to the poor latching. Recently i realised that it is because he wants to sleep and was trying to use me as a pacifier. Im not sure if its the same case for you. You may want to try to observe and see if its the same for you. Hope it helps.
