I am 6 days baby's mother. I have been started lactating from past 3 days. My baby is not at all ready to latch my breasts, and my nipples are flattened too. How to make my baby latch properly.

A. Use an nipple shield that usually helps in this case when a woman has a flat nipple and also you can use a breast to express your breastfeed and you can give it to the child with the help of a feeding bottle that is also going to help
