Tray, if you don't have any nipple shields let me know - I have 2 spare that I never opened - I have flat/inverted nipples and MW/MIL recommended them but I never had to use them because DD latched fine no problems.

I have never thought about the nipple shields, might give that at try so if the offer is there Nic that would be great thanks!
I have heard of the lacaids/nursing suplementer but didnt think they were avaliable here, I read about them on lots of US websites, might have to ask the chemist about it.
I am taking 2 domperidone 3x a day at the moment, I am struggling with keeping the milk supply up coz my breast pump is just a manual and my boobs dont respond well to manual (just electric) and I cant afford a new one... so pissed off coz I just sold my electric one about a month ago (typical huh)

Could you hire an electric? or look on TM??
the actual 'lactaid' system arnt available here, but we just used a shield with the feeding tube poked through and the other end in a bottle of milk and as DD sucked milk would come out. If you hold the bottle above baby then gravity makes the milk flow, maybe once hes latched and sucking good then hold the bottle below him and make him work a little for his milk (its still not hard to get out, but a little harder than a free flow)
