I feel like a failure not being able to breastfeed. My nipple are too short and my baby fights me when I try to get her to latch on and she's always still hungry...is it possible when I have my next child that my nipple could get longer and breastfeeding might get better with the second?

Maybe you could always try a nipple shield as well. I've heard those help a lot with problems like that

You are not a failure!!! breast feeding just doesn't work for every mom it doesn't make you any less of a mom ♡♡♡ ps have you tried a shield or consulting with a lactation specialist? just thinking of possible things to try (:

It's tricky at first. I had a lactation specialist help me so baby could latch on correctly because my son would get frustrated and turn away. Once he latched on correctly he wouldn't take anything else
