  • Cleft lip or palate; tongue-tie or lip-tie
  • Flat or inverted nipples
  • Latching or positioning difficulty
  • Milk is not transitioning to mature milk
  • Breast or nipple pain or trauma at any time beyond initial tenderness
  • Baby falls asleep quickly at breast
  • Strategies for returning to work or school
