Unable to latch

Hiii all, FTM here with 3 weeks old baby. Feeling sad and depressed that I'm unable to latch my little one. Had consulted a LC but its still the same. LO is fussy and hard to latch for me with flat nip. Anyone feeling the same ...

Try nipple shield and even if that doesn’t works out don’t get depressed..you are a great mom ,you did everything for the baby,just express out and give

Same.. Feeling depressed that I can get my LO to latch on properly. She's using mine as pacifier. I have flat nips too. Are LC free?

My baby have short tongue so I’m an exclusive pumping mum, I think as long as you still gave baby BM, it’s already good 🙌
