@asandovaln, you're doing great! 💕💕💕

@scruffy.nerf.herder, thank you so much!!! Yeah our breastfeeding journey had so many downs but I’m honestly happy that I could at least pump & provide that for her. Been doing it for 6 months now I never thought I would make it this far

@asandovaln, we had to use the SNS, pump from the beginning, and the nipple shield was the only way my son would latch. Eventually it became too great of a struggle around 10-11 months old and I just pumped after that and fed him breast milk via bottle. I know how disheartening it can be when you encounter struggle after struggle 😢 Keep your chin up momma ❤️

@asandovaln, oh I'm sorry to hear that! Nursing was a big struggle for us too. If you need a friendly ear to listen or vent to, I'm happy to listen 😊

@scruffy.nerf.herder, we’ve been using the nipple shield that’s actually the only way she was able to latch but when she finally got the hang of latching without it I got mastitis.. and now she doesn’t want to latch with or without the shield

@asandovaln, ask the LC about a nipple shield and if that might help. Good luck hun!

@asandovaln, good luck! Hopefully they’ll help and you’ll be able to

@laniejay, that’s honestly my plan but when we try she just gags at my nipple ☹️ we are meeting with an LC this week

You could always start again

Awe it’s okay maybe it’s a comfort thing my dd does that sometimes and I’ve never breastfeed always bottle
