sitting in a parking lot crying is not how I wanted to spend my night...she isn't latching anymore…

have you tried a nipple shield?

@sparklymama, I'll try that first

Nipple shields are life savors! Definitely try it, don't give up!!

don't give up ... are you engorged because that can cause a latch issue... using reverse pressure can soften up the nipple enough to get a latch

@sparklymama, I'm not engorged. should I stop the paci and try the shield? I was told they were bad to use long term. she's two months old. I'm so scared we won't have the same connection if I pump and bottle. I can't stop crying

@zaysmomma,

try the nipple shield and if that gets better you can make the choice about the paci then... nipple shields are great I haven't heard anything bad long term

My son is almost 7 months and I still use a shield on one side due to being super flat. There is no long term effect at all!

No matter what she'll always have a connection with you 💖💖💖

@zaysmomma, @sparklymama thank you. y'all made me feel so much better

no problem let me know how it goes in a couple days

Yes! Please let us know if everything works out

@sparklymama, @zaysmomma she latched rights on with the shield!

Omg!!! YAYYYYYYY, use it as long as you need to! I'm so happy for you

@zaysmomma, she's sleeping so hard now compared to before. it makes me wonder how long she hasn't been latching well and getting enough 😢

I'm sure she was getting enough before💖 but at least u don't have to worry now 😊

paci's can cause nipple confusion the baby can get confused with them easily I would try and cut them out or back

awwww I'm so happy to hear that 💝 no worries keep up the good work mama!
