A. dear mum even with flat nipple you can successfully breastfeed baby as baby has to latch on to the maximum possible areola of the breast and should not be feeding just at the nipple can take guidance from lactation consultant

A. thank you madam for your response actually my baby mouth is very small and my nipple size is big so baby cannot even take full nipple in the mouth thats why feeding through nipple is difficult for both of us
