Help! My newborn is having trouble latching to me now that I have milk coming in. My nipples are slippery when she tries to latch cause they’re leaking, she had no problem before when it was colostrum. Now I feel they’re too big and I can’t feed her anymore, only with bottles. Any tips are very appreciated! Thanks !

Yes like mamaofzuri said express some out so your less full and baby can then get a better latch.

Yup I double agree with the ladies above, squeeze some out so your breast is less full, which makes it easier for baby to latch on. Should work great after that :)

Pumping will cause initial relief but than cause increased milk supply! It’s called positive feedback:)

Hand expressing like the other mommies say is best:) I usually hand express in a warm shower! I have more tips on this here:

Nipple shields are also an option.
