Latching problem

2021-01-27 08:50:49
My baby is 10 days old she doesn't know how to latch on to my breast on her own. Everytime I am making her latch but after latching she is feeding properly. How to resolve the issue. Can I use nipple sheild? Or how to stimulate my nipples to help her to latch correctly.

Hi, As the babies grow older, they will learn. Till then push the nipple into the mouth and hold in that position, throughout the feeding. If nipple is short, you can use nipple shield.
