Default 6 month old with not great latch

I think it is laziness with both of us, but Ada has slipped into not having
the best latch in the world, any tips for encouraging her, obviously the
same things as with a newborn apply, but some of them are more difficult to
do with and awake and heavy 6 month old!

We mostly feed lieing down due to my SPD, if that makes any difference,

Anne

Suggestion: Wait until she opens her mouth very wide
before quickly moving her onto the breast. You may be
able to gradually train her to open her mouth wider.
