I never saw her that day. The same nurse when trying to "help" with the latch told me "I don't know about these flared nostrils" she thought my baby was having trouble taking in enough air and continued to pull on my breast. I told her I was ok and luckily she left. Thankfully I did get excellent support from Mary Toole in the Coombe and my local GP. I now continue to breastfeed my 19 month old son and he's thriving. Thank you.
