A. Hello, your baby girl is 2 months old and if your breast nipples are flat then now you can not do any thing,you would have done it before birth of your baby

A. if you have flat or inverted nipples, your baby may struggle to latch on. Go for a nipple shield that your baby is comfortable to suck else it may be difficult for baby to suck you can even take help from your doctor to chose the right one.
