Mom of a 4 yr 10 m old boy4 years ago
Q.

#ask the expert I am 23 years old mom of 8 week old baby. I had flat nipples and so much worried in breastfeeding my baby.I was using nipple shield to feed him from the very first day.I always have leaking breast. But my baby don't get full from only breastfeeding. After some time of suction no milk is coming out.So I gave him lactogen too. Is there any adverse effects on my baby's health due to the continuous usage of nipple shield?? Why my baby is not getting full even I have leaking breast? What can I do to make my baby enough with breast milk?
