My daughter wasn’t able to latch for the first 10 weeks due to her being too small. I had to use a nipple shield to trick her it was a bottle since she was so used to being bottle fed. The nipple shield helped a lot and I only had to use it for about a week before she finally latched without it. It’s not quite the same scenario. I hope a lactation consultant can give you some really good advice and help you. Best of luck momma!
This was us! We used the "flipple" technique and celebrated 3 years of feeding last week!
