Exercises to Help Your Baby to Open their Mouth Wider for Breastfeeding

These exercises help a baby open their mouth wider to help get a deeper and more comfortable latch. With clean, well-trimmed nails do the following exercises ~3x/day when the baby is calm. Make it fun!
1. "Boop, Boop, Boop" (gently tap the baby's nose, upper lip and then chin). Repeat 3x.
2. "Fishy Lips" (gently squeeze the baby's cheeks). Repeat 3x.
3. "Oreo Mouth" (gently trace around the mouth on the outside border of the lips). Repeat 3x.
