Hi - Need some advice for friend of mine please.

She has a month old baby and she is experiencing a lot of pain when breastfeeding. She has persevered so far but really isn't enjoying it. She has told me that while it has got better it still isn't pain free. She has also said her DS has a high palate which she believes is causing the problem.

I am thinking of suggesting that she try nipple shields but don't know anything about feeding baby with a high palate and whether the shields would do any good.

Hoping there is someone else here with heaps more experience than me who had provide me with some words of wisdom to share with her.

TIA
