2 weeks old and finally latching right!!

mrstzouganos

if you have trouble nursing, do not give up!! I have struggled for the past 2 weeks and I have been pumping so my LO gets my milk! But today we were at babies r us and found these nipple shields, I was willing to try anything! They worked like a charm and now my LO is nursing at every feeding instead of me pumping and then feeding him from a bottle! He latched within 15 seconds instead of fighting me. I feel so much better now that I can nurse with no issues!!

Mine wouldn't latch without the sheild either! Congratulations!!! Doesn't it feed SO good?

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of shield did you get? The hospital gave me one because my nipples are flat and latching is really hard without. I want to pick up more and would love some recommendations

Medela makes them and can be found at the baby stores and Target for sure.
