I just want to thank you times a million for your new breastfeeding positioning tip you posted yesterday!

DS has been using a nipple shield since week 1 due to problems latching, one flat nipple, and a hyperactive letdown, and even with the shield it's been rough. We have been trying to wean from the shield, with no success.

Today I tried your tip, and was able to not only get him to latch on both sides, but he ate in less time and seemed much more satisfied! He has already done it twice....THANK YOU!!!!

Only one question, where are your hands positioned when you are feeding? I feel like I have my arms and hands in the wrong place, even though he is eating well.

What's the tip? I use a shield too and I'm tired of it. It also takes us 20 min on each side... ugh. Or, can you give me the linky to the post? TIA!

Here is a link to the post, and there is also a link to a video in there. I still can't believe it worked.
