Sentences with phrase «shield by my lactation consultant»
It seems this technique addresses exactly our latching issue; we struggled to get the nipple deep enough to trigger her suckling response (and sandwiching the nipple to push it farther in her mouth didn't work for my breast type) BUT I had been able to nurse two or three times successfully (45 - 60 min per latch) BEFORE I was given the nipple shield by the lactation consultants, so I know in my heart that it would have just taken practice and we could have gotten it... the consultants, hubby, and mother - in - law just didn't have enough patience - they were all terrified she was starving.
