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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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