Will trade milk for nipples...

The good news is the nurses say they've never seen a new mom produce so much colostrum so fast. The not so good news is that there seems to be no force on earth able to convert my innie nipples to outies :( Hoping to meet with an LC tomorrow, until then we're pumping and spoonfeeding DD to get her started. Any advice on dealing with stubborn nipples? 15 minutes of pumping and they barely come out, only to disappear before I can hope to get a latch.

  • Nipple shield. Ask the LC about one.

  • Yep! Saved my life for the short time I nursed.

    Nipple shield. Ask the LC about one.

  • Nipple shields are great for innies, outties and flatties. $10 by medela.

  • sorry for the delay, it's been a crazy couple of days trying to figure out feeding, they work like a charm! Thanks for the info!

  • Someone mentioned a device called the Latch Assist by Lansinoh. Instead of pumping you use that instead and some seem to find it works better than pumping for popping the nipples out. Good luck momma!

    You have to look up the nipplette! Uh-mazing little doodad. Seriously. I work post partum and have had moms have some amazing success with it. Worth a shot ;)
  • Nipple shield, and the duo shield
  • Again, sorry for the slow response, between being post Csection, sick and the whole mother thing...  Haven't been online at all! 

    Nipple shields are working like a charm, but since I can't get them to stay out for any period of time, I'll probably be using them for the duration of the breastfeeding.  I'm grateful I have a working solution, thanks guys!
