Hi my DD is 16 days old and still having lots of trouble latching on. She was only 6 lbs 13 1/2 oz at birth and has a very tiny mouth. My nipples are somewhat flat and the aerola area is a bit large. I've been pumping and feeding her using a bottle but really want to feed her from the breast.
I do try to get her on the breast but she gets so frustrated that I give up and go to the bottle. I'm able to to get 6-8 oz each pumping but that takes up so much time.
Any suggestions anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
Diane
