Baby-friendly breastfeeding training—I got really confused about this, what should I do?

Baby-friendly breastfeeding training might sound complicated, but it's completely natural for your head to spin. Essentially, this is a WHO and UNICEF-recommended standard supported by healthcare workers—for you, the core is this: baby's first 6 months should be breast milk only, proper positioning, and a good latch.
In practice, this is straightforward: your baby's mouth should be wide open, not just the nipple but much of the areola should be in the baby's mouth, lower lip turned outward, and visible chin movement while nursing. If it hurts in the first few days or if your baby isn't getting enough milk (low wet diaper count, low weight gain), it's helpful to see a lactation consultant or nurse.
