breastfeeding

[terna]

my nipples are so flat, I am NERVOUS that my princess is not going to b able to latch on. do any mom's have flat nipples but the baby latch on??? if so how you got them to latch on???

I'm not trying to be mean or don't take it wrong but the statement above is not correct! ure milk does not come out of ure areola it comes out of ure nipple only n even if u have flat nipples u can still latch baby on its just a lil more struggle , a nipple shield helps a
lot

I went to a class yesterday n they were specifically tlkn bout that they said even if u dnt have a nipple its ok baby still latches on he/she ***** on it as if it were sucking on its hand, n breast milk doesnt only come out the nipple it also comes out the areola. So even if u dnt have a nipple u can still breastfeed.

thank you so I'm going to have to invest in nipple guards.

My cousin had that and they made her use the nipple part of the bottle(Just the rubber) over her actual nipple..

Mine too im worried about that too mines a re flat im definitely gunna have to look into that but i recently went to a breast feeding class and the instructor told me it was diffrent for everyone sometimes they do latch on or sometimes they dont and sometimes its pain full so its better for some moms to just pump.

I believe for flat n inverted nipples a lot of moms get a nipple shield to help out with the bf so I would look into it
