Hi, My baby is 2months old and her weight is 4.100kg.At the time of birth she was 2.96kg. Now one of my breast has become very hard from 3 weeks and baby is unable to latch it.so I m feeding her with nipple sheild and I feel she is not gettting enough milk from that.should I go for formula? How can I soften the breast and make her to latch normally. Thanks, sneha

welcome to hcm,
i feel you have breast engorgement. if so i advice you to express the milk where there is engorgement. with breast engorgement you will have pain and the baby will not suck the milk. if you cannot express yourself ask someone to help you to express it.
hope this explains
with regards
