latch problem

I had short nipples too. And feeding ebm, at times fm if no time to warm ebm. Didnt engage lc. But hubby was supportive and told me to take one thing at a time. Seeing hw much i wanna bf, he bought me nipple puller and nipple shield. I started off with latching when time permits,usually once per day at a specific timing, using nipple shield. Sometimes its a success, sometimes not... I dont force baby... If she cant just feed ebm. Didnt want to stress myself too,later no milk. I learnt the hard way.. One day while trying to latch her on, my nipple shield dropped on the floor with dusts and everything. So i just attempted direct latch with no shield. To my surprise, she was able to latch on! Didnt even gt to usebthe puller... Press on mummy. But ofc lc is also one way..

Yes, consulting a LC is advisable if you want to continue breastfeeding or pumping. They will help you resolve your breastfeeding or pumping issues and advise you accordingly. Please go for a certified LC i.e. IBCLC. Mine helped me to resolve latching issues, taught me how to do breast massage, compression and double pumping and how to prevent blisters. There’s cheaper IBCLCs around ($150/hr) or alternatively, you can visit a LC at the hospital you delivered at. It’s usually cheaper if you make an appointment and go to the hospital LC.

I got short nipple too. Got some prob with latching initially but breastfeeding pillow helps. You can also get nipple puller from pigeon to pull out the nipple b4 latching. I didn't see any LC and managed to fully bm till 18 months so I dont see the need for LC, esp they are exp.

That sounds overpriced, if I recall correctly my Thomson LC charged less than $100 per session and just one session should be enough to sort out many issues, not sure why there's a need for a package. Sounds like trying to "milk" your money 🤑 pun intended hehe

Good to consult a LC. Just try one session first, i dont think it's necessary to sign up for multiple sessions. I paid $150 for an hour's home visit - and one session was all it takes for me, I'm still happily breastfeeding my 6mo

Try mother and child lactation consultant. My wife tried . Expensive but solved her problem

I have inverted nipples. After pumping for a while the nipples actually came out

I went to see an LC at mount e novena, 100$ per session before gst
