Unable to breastfeed due to flat nipples
Hello, my baby is 10days old and I am struggling a lot to breastfeed my baby due to my flat nipples. Earlier my doctor had suggested to use nipple shield but now my doctor has asked me to stop using nipple shield because my baby is suffering from loose motions due to chewing of the rubber of the nipple shield. Please suggest if there is any other solution. Thank you
