Hi all,
Just looking for some advice really, I am 29+3 weeks pregnant with DC2, I breastfed DS for 7 months but it started off a bit rocky, My nipples are not completely flat but dont stick out as much as normal, midwife said they are 'a bit flat' after i had DS. It caused a problem with him latching on...he couldnt get a good grip and lost a lot of weight in the first week or so...the community midwife suggested that i use nipple protectors to give him something to grab on to...after a few months i didnt need to use them all the time, just sometimes.
I was just wondering if there is anything i can do in advance to make my nipples stick out a bit more before i have my baby so i dont need to use nipple protectors...Obviously i will use them if i have too...just think it would be easier not to have to use them!
Sorry if tmi!
thanks in advance
