[QUOTE=little_O;3431560]MummaT she just said the midwife has said about the shields for tomorrow because she is flat. Also she is very well blessed up top so they think it might be hard for the baby to work the breast.


If she is flat nippled then it is still possible to feed without shields so like everyone else has said suggest she keeps putting bub to the breast. I managed to feed DS2 without shields it was just through perseverance of trying and trying til he got it.

She could also try baby lead attachment if she's game as i found that worked a treat too.
