Latching to flat nipples
Latching to flat nipples
My left nipple is flat/maybe inverted. Y right side he latched amazingly to. He can latch to the flat nipple about 2/10 times. And he will latch and then fall off and then barely latch and then fall back off.

Maybe pump for like a minute first to get them pointed out? Then latch him

I have flat nippples. What helped was not using a nipple shield at all and just shoving my whole nipple and areola in his mouth.

That's usually what I do lol just shove it in.
I just can't use a pump first when I'm in public so it makes it more difficult.

Can you do nipple stimulation? Kind of pull on it and twist? I don't have inverted nipples so I don't know if that's even helpful, because I don't know if that would make them pop out. I just know that when my nipples get stimulated they pop up. Good luck.

Medela therashells can help and you could wear it in you bra. Think I've seen a little suction thing that you can use instead of a pump. Keep trying though so that you get some stimulus to the breast.

This is the nipple suction thing.
