My baby is 6 days old. She is unable to latch on my nipples as they are too small. My attempt to feed her with nipple shield is also a failure. I am going depression now. Please suggest what has to be done.

Kindly massage your nipples with castor oil slightly and also around your breasts before going to bed and wash it before feeding.
