dear bf experts,
due to flat nipples i have been using nipple shield to bf. very seldom i manage to latch on directly.
during confinement mth, my bb take 20min each breasts n finish a feed in 1hr incl burp. frm 6th week on, my letdown comes faster n he finish breast 1 in 5-10min. afterwhich he fusses n mayb cry, i change to breast 2. again he finishes in 5-10min he fusses.
when i look at d shield there is no more milk in d gap. but i still can squeeze out some milk n feel my breast 3/4 emptied. i feel tat he didnt suck for my 2nd letdown.
he's 7 weeks now.
i need advice...tia
