What it Really Looks Like: Getting a Deeper Latch

Image showing how to get a deep latch

If you’ve been working on getting a deep latch — but it still feels shallow, pinchy, or awkward — this live coaching session shows how a few small shifts can make a big difference.

In less than 6 minutes, you’ll see me guide a real parent through positioning her baby, supporting reflexes, and stepping back just enough to let her baby latch more effectively. You’ll notice what to adjust when it isn’t working — and how it all comes together when the latch finally clicks.

Sometimes it helps to watch the process unfold in real time, not just read about it. That’s exactly what this session offers: an unscripted, real coaching moment where I help a parent use reflexes to guide her baby into a deeper latch.

Here’s what you’ll see inside this live coaching session:

  • ➤ How to position your baby so their reflexes can do the work
  • ➤ What to do (and what not to) with your nipple
  • ➤ When to guide — and when to pause for the gape
  • ➤ How to know if your baby’s latch is deep enough
  • ➤ What to try if your baby keeps sliding down

Hi there! I’m an IBCLC and educator with over twenty-five years of experience supporting families.

I built this space to share the kind of guidance I wish I had as a new parent—answers grounded in real-world experience, not guesswork. The kind that reflect real babies, real bodies, and the real challenges that don’t always fit the textbook. 

Because when you understand why something is happening, it’s so much easier to feel confident about what to do next.
