Second Latch, Some Compression
When the baby latches on over the nipple, he gets very little milk. When the baby latches on properly, he gets more milk. It's as simple as that.
Even in the first few days, before the milk 'comes in', a good latch is important so that the baby gets the colostrum. There is enough colostrum in the first few days, if the baby gets it. He needs a good latch in order to get it. Note that a pump does not work in the same as the baby, so that if you cannot pump colostrum easily, it doesn't mean you don't have any milk. Often it is easier to express colostrum by hand than by pump.
