Breastfeeding after Exclusively Pumping for 3 Months | Haakaa Nipple Shield Tutorial

Does your baby refuse to breastfeed?
Does your baby prefer the bottle to the breast?
Do you think that your baby has nipple confusion?
Have you been told your baby won't breastfeed because of a tongue tie?
Not sure how to use the Haakaa nipple shield?
If so, I get it.
After exclusively pumping for the first three months, I taught my baby to breastfeed after three weeks! We are now breastfeeding full-time thanks to the Haakaa nipple shield that looks like a bottle.
This was a 3-week process. It wasn’t overnight and required a lot of patience, but it was worth it. We have gone to the chiropractor, speech therapy, and occupational therapy and saw a lactation consultant six times.
