A parent reports nipple pain at every feed since the first week; the infant is gaining well. The IBCLC observes a feed. Based on the visual examination, which change is most likely to improve the feed?
Visual examination: Infant aged 3 weeks, during a feed in a cradle hold. The infant's lower lip is turned inward against the gum, and the chin sits slightly away from the breast with a visible gap, while the nose presses into the breast. The cheeks draw inward in a small dimple with each suck. The parent winces at latch-on, and the pain continues through the feed.
