Breast feeding with large saggy boobs!

Hello, our baby girl was born on Sunday and I have been attempting to EBF, however I have 36GG breasts and they have always been saggy so struggling for positions and baby’s latch due to nipples effectively hidden at the bottom of my boobs 😢 Does anyone have any advice? The midwife’s at the hospital and the feeding team have all given conflicting advice, to the point every single person had a different way to do things and it’s got my head in a bit of a pickle 😢😢 my thoughts are that it just isn’t possible for me tbh.

Have you tried doing it lying down? I round it the only way at first but as baby gets older they get better and it gets so much easier

I'm part of the Itty bitty titty committee but feel like lying down or football/rugby hold would be best for this situation

Maybe try a muslin cloth or something under your boob for better nipple positioning

I found this too, I struggled with feeding for the first day and the midwives also all gave me different info😫 I found grabbing/cupping the boob with one hand and using the other hand and arm to put baby on worked. 2 days later we are much better. Its so hard, almost gave up at one point but stick to your guns, you've got this xx

Hello! Thanks all - unfortunately all the suggestions we had already tried and ended up in a hospital trip early morning as baby not getting enough milk so have made the decision to go to bottle - combo of formula/expressing. Big change in baby already and so grateful for the days we did have breast feeding 🩷
