[quote=Anonymous]OP- I had exact same issue with my now 12 week old. Have flat nipples… baby would only take 10mls from a 30 min nursing session with the shield. I pumped and bottle fed the pumped milk to not lose supply. Also struggled at the bottle and would only eat 17-18 oz a day and take an hour to eat 2oz. LC and ped told me no ties and would grow into it by 8 weeks. I carried on and at 8 weeks no improvement. Stopped trying to nurse out of exhaustion as pumping was more efficient. Saw a feeding therapist-SLP- who recommended tie revision and oral strengthening exercises at 8 weeks. Got it done with an ENT- who said baby was a gray zone case and it might not help. She had immediate improvement and is now bottle feeding well. I regret not getting more opinions earlier since may have allowed me to nurse as well and overall not suffered as long. I recommend consult with a ped dentist/ feeding therapist SLP. [/quote]
