My baby is not able to latch properly- most likely due to big nipple size. Any tips to latch babies on big nipples? He just latches onto the nipples not the areola.

A. hello maybe you should try to support your child and if it is not possible you can express the milk and feed the same using a BPA free bottle like babyhug so it becomes easy for the baby to take and would be safe also and nothing to worry
