It's so frustrating that I can't breast feed my newborn baby. I tried since Sunday when we got home, but the baby just won't latch on my breast. The reason: because of my flat and inverted nipple. Aaarrgghh. It's so frustrating. I already made a research to find a remedy but it didn't work for me. So, my last resort is to pump my milk using a breast pump. Quite painful, but it's enough to give me relief and for baby to be able to get even a small amount of breast milk.
As of now, I don't have a choice but to do infant formula feeding. Costly, I know. But what can I do. I can't leave baby feeling hungry just because I can't breastfeed. I really envy those who can breastfeed their young. Because after all, breastmilk is still best for babies.

Hi Phoebs,
Nanganak ka na ? when ? I gave birth 23 of Sept. lang...I was 1 week overdue....Naku pareho tayo...I tried to breastfeed for a few days...but then my milk is not enough kaya pala... panay and feeding ko sa kanya...untill my nipple got sore and crack...like you my nipple are inverted..kaya hirap sya mag latch...when I could not tolerate the pain anymore..I switch her to formula...like you nag pump nalang din ako...but now unti unti ng nawawala yong milk ko...at least she was able to drink my milk kahit one week lang... masakit man sa kalooban..pero wala kang magawa..hay...
That's sad naman that you can't breastfeed your baby. Di bale na, tiis na lang magpump ng milk for the meantime coupled with infant formula.
