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.

I had the same problem. I did the breast sandwich trick while holding my baby in a football hold so I wouldn't smother her with my breast. That certainly helped.
