My baby won't latch without. I have had at least 10 people helping me latch him on without success (BFing counsellors and midwives)
He had a tongue tie fixed and I will try to latch him on without shields in the future but atm is way too stressful for both.
He was not at birth weight yet when weighed at 12 days.
So I am worried he is not getting enough. hv wasnt worried because we just started to exclusively BF.
Has anyone succesfully breastfed their babies with shields?
We get wet and dirty nappies and I will have him weighed again next week.
I have worked so hard to get to this point it would be a shame to give up
Thank you
