Hi all
FTM here. Been feeding with nipple shields for a few weeks due to latch issues. Baby is 6 weeks and feeding very often and aggressively... this means he sucks so hard that my nipple is sore and painful. I can’t figure out if the shields is making it better worse? He sometimes pulls off so violently the shield goes in his mouth and I am crying in pain.
What should I do? Try and not use them? There are no support clinics to ask due to COVID
Thanks
