I'm embarrassed about this.... But how do I breastfeed my newborn when she can't latch on properly because I have extremely engorged boobs and pretty flat nipples? She has a hard time drawing out the nipple and I'm afraid I'll suffocate her.

On top of what Idza suggested, you can also try these two methods (making a "breast sandwich" or doing a "nipple nudge"; taken from: http://www.bellybelly.com.au/breastfeeding/breastfeeding-with-inverted-or-flat-nipples/) Breast sandwich: place your fingers an inch or so from the nipple, then compress the areola to flatten the breast. This creates something firm for baby to latch onto. Or, nipple nudge: use the index finger of the hand that’s supporting your breast to push up and out from behind the nipple to make it more prominent.
