A. Not to worry for that you can just regularly Pull your nipples out every 2 hourly and Regularly Try to take your baby for breastfeeding to learn latching. doing these 2 regularly helps solve the problem

A. That’s okay in such cases you have to use nipple shield that’s very beneficial otherwise if you want and if you have a really good amount of breastfeeding then you can go ahead with expressing your breast feed with a breast pump and that’s what you can do otherwise nipple shield is going to be the only option that you have
