[quote=Anonymous]I just want to second that it seems unlikely that your nipple has anything to do with it, the baby shouldn’t be latching right onto your nipple but taking in much of your areola. It can be so hard op! Did your lactation do a THOROUGH check for tongue/lip ties? I had a similar experience as one person described with hospital and post birth doulas completely missing a tongue RIE. A thorough exam would look like fingers in the mouth and last multiple minutes. Difficulty latching and not transferring are often signs of ties (though not always of course). Try following milkmatterspt, aloha.nutrition, and the balancedboob on Instagram. Watch their highlights on ties and see if it seems potentially to align with what you’re seeing. If so, reach out to Susan Howard if you’re in this area. She can help or refer you to someone experienced in ties. In the meantime do your best to protect your supply without going crazy and know that the supplementing is totally fine. You’re doing great mama [/quote]
