How was breastfeeding been going?

@milan_mommy you're welcome .. try the sandwich.. it really does help

@imhermomduh i noticed mine isn't as flat now.. i actually " sandwich" with my thumb and index though... i thought i was the only 1 that did that.. no one seems to ever mention it lol

pk thank you so much ladies i have a lil hope now lol @megbaby07 @zaysmomma @mommy_to_be.taylor @imhermomduh @maya.rose @mommybug @sutralotus

@zaysmomma, it's been a life saver lol

@megbaby07, my son will be 6 months in a week and I still use it on one side too lol

Nipple shield! I have a flat nipple on one side and that is the only things that helped. 6 months strong!

@megbaby07, i have inverted nipples as well. it gives me so much hope to know that you are breastfeeding successfully! I want to exclusively breast feed so bad and I have been so concerned about the obstacles my nipples may cause.

Try pumping before you attempt to latch her. Pumping a little will help pull your nipple out. Also the nipple shield if she is having a hard time it could be too big for her and you may need a smaller nipple shield. With my son I needed a smaller shield but I still would put him to breast before I used the shield. It helped and now he latches with no shield

Yeah I agree with the "sandwich" thing. Taking your index and middle finger and squishing the nipple out. You can also try to stimulate it? Like make your nipples hard if that works and I also had a manual pump and would pump my nipples out to get them puckers out. It took me a month to get a successful latch and from then on my nipples actually converted out so I never had another problem and I don't even think I'll have the problem again.

my right in flat compared to my left.. a lactation specialist told me to kinda "sandwich" my nipple.. basically squeeze the areola together

making my nipple stick out a bit and put it into my sons mouth when he opened it.

workes for me.. going on 4 months

My baby is only 2 weeks old but I have flat nipples and I breastfeed with a nipple shield. It's frustrating sometimes but we practice latching everyday, usually after I feed her breastmilk I pumped. She latched great as soon as she was born but once I introduced the bottle she got a little confused.

Yes it works great, now that she is 6 months im going too try and seriously wean her from it but I'm so used to it. It's hard. But she wouldn't eat the first 2 days. And then they have me it and it took her being home too finally get the hang of it.

the specialist have me one today no progress with it as of yet that works for you ? @megbaby07

I have inverted and I use a nipple shield!
