Does anyone breastfeed with a nipple shield? I've been using one for six weeks and want to wean her off of it, but I'm having trouble getting my daughter to take my breast without the shield. Any tips or advice?

@sunshine1, @cookiemonster1216, @junesmommy15, thanks for commenting ladies, I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses it! I don't mind using the shield, it actually helps keep my nipples from getting sore, it would just be nice to not have to take the stupid thing with me everywhere. I'd like to be able to just whip out my boob and feed my daughter instead of having to make sure I have the shield next to me to put on. I'll definitely keep trying to have her on just my breast, hoping it works out!
I had wanted to wean my daughter off the shield, but never succeeded. At 15mo, she still uses it. I wish I had some advice, but nothing worked for me. I just am thankful there was some way to help us, and I was able to bf at all.
I used a shield for about the first 5 weeks. All I can say is keep trying. My son was a little confused when I first started trying to wean him off but eventually he got the hang of it without a shield
Yeah that was my whole thing is it's a pain when you're out or traveling and having to constantly wash it especially during night feedings was not fun. Good luck and just keep trying!
