Currently pregnant with DC2. I wanted to breastfeed DC1 but with large breasts, flat nipples and an impatient baby I never could.
I tried nipple shields last time. They didn’t work but I will be getting some again.
I tried nipple formers before but I don’t think I used them properly. My nipples have come out a bit since DC1 but I think they’ll still be too flat.
Has anyone used nipple shields and do they work? If not, what else can I do to breastfeed?
I had a health visitor come to help once a week for 5 weeks and it didn’t help.
I went to a couple of breastfeeding cafes and that didn’t help. I saw a breastfeeding counsellor and she put me off!
