So my LO can't/wont latch, I have flat nipples and samething happened with my first I used a shield for the first month then weaned her off.
So my LO is currently using a shield, she is such a sleepy baby (wouldn't normally complain) it's almost impossible to wake her to feed. And when I do get her well enough awake she sucks for a couple mins then falls asleep... This goes on for well over an hour. I wake her to the point she is screaming, two mins later sleeping. Then I take her off and she wakes her self up rooting, put her back on...asleep. I topped her up with expressed after an hour of feeding she took over an oz and wanted more. She's still not back at her birth weight was 7 lbs 15 oz is 7 lbs 13 oz. And the midwives want to see her gain more. Please help! Oh also sometimes she will just sit with the shield in her mouth wide awake, doing nothing for a long time! I try to get her to suck nothing take her off, she roots like crazy! Put her back on sucks for a min then zones back out.
