Q.
Hello!! I have an issue with breastfeeding. I have flat nipples and due to that my baby is not able to latch properly . My baby is 15 days old and since her birth I am trying to breastfeed her directly but she is not able to.So i started using nipple shield as I want her to be exclusively on breastfeed. Is it safe to use nipple shield and how long can i use it ?

otherwise, you can express milk and feed the baby, this also helps in keeping up the supply.
