Please do not use nipple shield as the baby will get used to the same and then not latch in a regular fashion.<br> Do not stop feeding or atleast expressing as else the milk supply will reduce.<br> meet with a Lactation specialist asap to learn the correct way to latch the baby. you can connect with some good specialist here on the app as well.

if you can't able to tolerate much, then for time being you can express milk and feed your baby through spoon on palada. but don't make it as a practice. bcos she may hesitate to <u>latch</u> once she get used to spoon, bottles or whatever
