title says it all really. I tried with my eldest but he wouldn't/couldn't latch on, so it resulted in 4 weeks of continuous expressing and feeding which I swore would never do again as it about killed me. Even the midwife was begging me to give up and put him on the bottle and thats what I have stuck to ever since.
this one though being the last I seem to have the desire more than ever to try again, and whilst sometimes they come out, since I have been pregnant, and obviously boobs are bigger, they are showing no signs of wanting to play.
What I would like to know, there are more than just me out there with them, has anyone managed to successfully BF even if its just with aids?
I have seen some Medela contact nipple shields, which it says are good for inverted nipples, but not to be used permanantly as can reduce sensation, does anyone know if they are any good before I order them? Plus they come in 3 sizes, so wasn't sure which one to go for.
