Some women have sharp, burning nipple pain after a feed and notice
the end of their nipple turning white (blanching).
You may see a small white dot on
the end of the nipple.
Whether you run the tubing under baby's upper lip or over his lower lip, or thread it into the corner of his mouth after he latches, the tubing must extend approximately to
the end of the nipple and must stay within the «sucking tunnel,» or he will be unable to draw supplement from it.
The tube does not need to pass
the end of the nipple and needs to be only just past the baby's gums to function properly.
These factors have resulted in a very shallow latch and his tendency to keep his jaw closed and pinched down on
the end of my nipple.
That constant negative pressure without a break in the suction can cause little blisters on
the end of your nipple.
Sometimes a blocked duct is associated with a small blister on
the end of the nipple.
There should be a small space between
the end of your nipple and the end of the crown of the nipple shield.
My concern is that ny nipples are so flat, the shield doesn't seen to suck them out and he just chomps on
the end of my nipple.
It is normal for there to be a gap between
the end of your nipple and the end of the shield.
Premature babies will attempt to lick the milk from
the end of the nipple and open their mouths just like term babies.
Baby should never be just latched onto
the end of the nipple.
The container is worn around your neck, and a tube connected to the container is taped to your breast so that its tip reaches
the end of your nipple.
Another sign to look out for is the baby being right on
the end of your nipple (it hurst heaps more to have them latched this way too).
