<< On Friday night, I went to the home of a LLL member to observe her baby
nursing. She stated she got the baby to latch on in the hospital when her
milk wasn't in but since coming home and her milk coming in, she couldn't get
her daughter to latch on. Her nipples were inverted and very large. The
nipple itself is probably the size of a nickle or quarter and the areola is
probably 2 inches across. The baby would open her mouth really wide and try
to latch one, but to no avail. We worked with her for 3 hours, trying
everything the Breastfeeding Answer book suggested to help her nipple come out
and the baby latch on. Finally, we feed the baby with a syringe and the
mother pumped and put on nipple shields for the inverted nipple problem.
On Saturday, she got the baby to latch on for two times, but other than that,
wasn't successful. This mother is very determined to nurse and would
appreciate any help you could give her.
Thanks you,
