Niplette? Flatish Nipples!

[~breeze~]

I have heard of the nipplette, its made by avent. I bid on one on ebay but ended up being outbid I was told you can buy them from babies galore for about $60 so I went on the hunt for a brand new one. Unfortunately I couldn't find them anywhere & there aren't anymore listed on ebay atm either. My DS wont attatch to my BB's so as very dissapointing as it is I decided a couple of days ago I'll just let my milk dry up now

If you cant find the niplette, I saw something similar made by medela, maybe check the website. Otherwise as the poster above me suggested, maybe try nipple shields?

Wishing you lots of luck, I hope it all works out well & you can BF your new baby

Thanks for all the feedback and encouragment... I still have my breast pump so that is something i can try, i know there is an ABA meeting place right across from the hospital ill be going to, so i might go in first and have a chat with someone later on in my pregnancy, ill definatly keep in mind about the medela website too, ive heard alot about nipple shields, i did send dh down to the chemist to get one last time and it was massive so obviously didnt work but it was a big rubbery thing, hopefully if i do need to get one next time i can get the silicon type..my friend said she used one like that and it was brillant.
I guess i just need to relax and stop worrying until the time comes and then see if im having trouble or not...
Thanks again.
