I was so looking forward to breastfeeding Kenneth, but I can't cuz my nipples aren't the right shape for him to latch on. We tried using a nipple shield, but even had issues with that. So now I'm exclusively pumping, which isn't so bad. It's definitely easier for daddy to feed him when I'm napping lol.

@peaceinfall, the nurses told me I have flat nipples, and no matter how much I tried to make them erect, they wouldn't go enough for him to get a grip on it. The one nurse said that pumping might help shape them, but it also may not work
I had a long battle with my daughter trying to get her to latch to breastfeed because I have inverted nipples (nipples on the inside) and I had to pull them out with every feeding after she finally got to latch after having issues for almost two months of not drinking from my breast. But I kept at it and she finally latches, I just need work. And more milk now, she's two months a half. Ill hen you were in the hospital, did they say you don't have the right shaped nipples?
thanks @ashalay88 I'm glad I'm producing too. I wasn't for the first day, and I started to worry cuz we think that my little guy has the same allergy to formula that his daddy did as an infant.
I had the same issues with my nipples!! I tried pumping, and got nothing. Come to find out I wasn't producing milk! Sooo glad you are!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
I will be 41 :/
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Those are very true, my aunt has flat nipples and they came out more than what it and she gave up breastfeeding but we have the resources today so mothers can breastfeed. Get a nipple shield, it works wonders.
