She was on the news in the week talking about her book and how to latch a baby on by reshaping the nipple so that it is flattened in the direction of a baby's mouth - ie if you're latching a baby on whose mouth is vertical on you, you hold your breast with thumb on one side and fingers on the other and slot it into the baby's mouth.
Is this good advice? She seemed to think so, as did woman who was trying it and keeping a video diary of her efforts. I was just a bit mystified at the "this is the way to latch, and any woman can bfeed like this" tone of the item.
(Have I explained this at all well?!)
