Infant Breastfeeding

In this video, the infant is effectively latched on. The infant's mouth is widely open (at an angle > 140 degrees), the nose is held away from the breast, and the mouth covers most of the areola with the bottom lip below the nipple. Not pictured are the nipple in contact with the roof of the infant's mouth, and the infant's tongue covering the lower gum.
