question about the picture on the front page

Is that little one latched on properly? It doesn't look like he is wide enough and his top lip looks folded in, I thought that was bad? Just trying to get an idea of what 'right' looks like????

I see what you mean, that is an older babe though, they improvise sometimes! Ideally the entire areol (sp?) should be entirely in the babes mouth.

You should see the pictures of my babies nursing, lol. You can see my areola like a halo around their heads.

Well, I wouldn't say that my areolas are the size of a lunch plate
but DS or DD (13 months) have never been able to fit the whole thing into their mouths!

you guys are funny!
Mine are pretty obnoxious too. Oh well. I just watched a bunch of latch videos and pictures, I suspect I know what I was doing wrong last time. I just want to keep inundating myself with it so I'm ready, yk?
