latch problem

I'm in my 3rd wk postpartum. Trying to latch baby but unable to as my nipples are short. Now pumping can only get 40ml the most. Baby taking 60ml formula and top up with ebm. Shld i engage LC? They charging $180 per session, they said shld take 5 sessions $800. Any of u had experience wif LC?

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.
