Infant massage
Face massage for helping infant facial muscles to relax. https://youtu.be/6qYlpVYrFoo Oral exercises for infants Great Positive oral stimulation video to encourage tongue mobility in infants. https://youtu.be/lqedjX6w5U0 Hand expression videos I've put more than one here because there are moms who might learn a technique and/or tips from one video and another mom who learns more from a different video. Feel free to watch them all and use what works best for you! This is the Thompson Breastfeeding Method which is a great video with basic latch and positioning info.
