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?

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.
