Nipple shield

Amanda • We are a blended family of 7. This will be our first together. Super excited.
So we are having issues with latching. He was mildly tongue tied and it got clipped Monday the 20th. Still using a shield as he gets really frustrated. I was told he has a small mouth and that is causing problems as well. I was hoping to rid it but looks like I might be using it until he grows a little more. He seems to get more when I use the shield. Without it he gets very frustrated and pulls at my nipples. Note:when I was younger I had to get 4 teeth pulled to make room for other growing in and in order to get braces. Doctor said my mouth was not big enough to accommodate all the teeth coming in. He is 19 days old.
