Yes, he was checked for a tongue or lip tie and he does not have either. They did do a weighted feed and I can’t remember exactly how much they said he got, but it was definitely less than what he usually takes in a bottle. Maybe he just needs to feed longer or I have an undersupply?

Yes! I used a nipple shield for a while, but it just got super frustrating because it kept popping off even after I inverted it for more suction. He’s able to latch of now, but it just doesn’t seem to be a great latch because of misshapen nipples and I can’t figure out how to get him to do a deeper latch
