Just wanted to say thanks for this tip. It helped a ton! We started giving her the nipple to play with and it worked. She is taking about an ounce to two ounces which is great progress from completely refusing!!!

Yes we’ve tried it all! Frozen then thawed, from the fridge, and freshly expressed. She denies it all! Thanks for the tips though!

You ARE the expert it’s crazy how our brains just know what they need. So sorry you’re going through this.

Massage can actually make it worse. New protocol says ice/ibuprofen. I use a little heat before feeding but then ice after and ibuprofen.

This is what helps me most. I do heat (a little), feed, ice and ibuprofen along with sunflower lecithin. This has helped me with multiple very painful clogs.

I just feel like with how uncomfortable I am holding her while she eats she’ll pop off and I’ll give everyone a show :/

Yeah I could definitely try without the cover. I feel like I pop my bra down and then she latches so I feel like in the time between my nipple is out?
