I am expecting my 5th baby in the Spring. All of my other children only nursed on the right side. The would very occasionally nurse on the left side, but not very often and that side was not very productive. I have never been able to produce much at all on that side and never been able to pump out more than a few drops.
I think I may have an at least partially inverted nipple, due to what one nurse told me in the past. I have nursed most of my children 2 years +, but mostly on the right side. I would really like to try to nurse this baby on the left side more, if possible.
Is a nipple shield what I need to try to make this possible? If I just have to nurse on the one mega producing side, I will, but I would love to try to give it a go on both sides this time. (And not just because I am majorly lopsided!
)
Thank you in advance for any insight!
