My 6 week old DS was born at 30+3. I've been expressing for him getting good good volumes now the time has come to get him feeding orally. He is still tiny (1.5kg) so although he's interested latch is not coming naturally. Just tried some nipple shields at nurses suggestion and he seemed to suckling the nipple a bit but not properly latched. Any top tips? He has a good suck.
