Answer: B - The gape and head tilt latching occurs when the baby’s head goes back, the mouth gapes, or opens, and the lower lip and chin reach the breast first. The nose to nipple latching starts with the baby’s nose opposite the nipple. In the asymmetric latch the baby is positioned asymmetrically. In the nipple to top half latching, the tongue takes up half the mouth so the nipple should be positioned in the top half of the infant’s mouth.
