Hi Sterla,

I was just wondering how you're going now and if you're still using the NS. I'm also contemplating using the NS indefinately and would love to hear how it's working for you, or how making the change has gone.

I had it introduced in hospital because my nipples were inverted and he couldn't latch on. I managed to get them to come out and get him to feed from the nipple, but then ended up with horribly cracked bleeding nipples, even though our attachment looked really good to the LC. So I have brought back the NS a few days ago, initially just to let my nipples heal, but now I am thinking that maybe we should continue using it indefinately. I was dreading each feed before, but now I am actually beginning to enjoy BFing. And he seems to be sucking really well from it and getting what he needs ? he has lots and lots of wet and pooey nappies each day. He is going to be weighed on Thursday so I am interested to see if his weight gain has improved, because it was a little low when we were on the nipple.
