I have large boobs and can’t get a latch!

My friend had the same issue (big boobs) and was struggling and the midwife advised her to stop moving her boob to the babies mouth and move the baby to the boob and it made such an improvement. I’m not saying this will work for you also as not sure what you have tried just sharing the knowledge for us big boobs mamas. I’m currently pregnant with twins so really debating expressing, breast or bottle or a mix of all 3 at the moment. Hope it works out for you x

Have you tried laying back to try to feed. Lay on your back with your head resting on a pillow or sofa, place baby on their front on your chest, let them lift their head to find the right latch. This way the boob is flatter and not pushing down or covering any of baby's face xx

Put a rolled up tea towel under your boob. Really lifts the boob into the right position

Also, get checked for tongue tie

I had the same, boobs were /are still huge, he's 4 months now. I used to express for a couple of minutes just to let down the initial milk and almost make my nipple easier to latch onto (from the suction).
And what mentioned above, worked for me too. 😊. Xx

Try the rugby hold on baby only way I was able to feed with a larger chest

I had a few problems with feeding mine my big boobs being one of them and now hes 13 weeks and latches a treat.
Ngl it was really hard and disheartening to start with but if you want to breastfeed then you will also be able to, youll just need to persevere through this hard bit.
Good luck xx

Use a muzzy under your boob to lift it im big busted too but am successfully breastfeeddinv my 5 week old message me if u want x

Watch a YouTube video on the rugby hold! Was the most comfy for me and my little boy. Try not to be disheartened, it takes some practice!! ❤️❤️ you’re an amazing mummy for reaching out xxx

I was the same. In hospital I got a good latch with rugby hold but when I came home latch was impossible to get as we had tongue tie sniped and ended up with blisters and cracked nipples.

I rang the breastfeeding helpline and the lady i spoke to recommend this video and it was fantastic.

Same as suggested above as well move baby to breast.

These helped immediately, even with blistered sore nipples. Didn’t need to use shields. Got the silver ones he’s to cool the pain as my little one relearns how to latch but highly recommend this position.

Give nipple shields a go until baby's mouth gets a little bigger. They help with the latch🙏🏻

Rugby hold and a decent pillow set up, persevere and you will both find a way that works. Good luck and enjoy it
