With my DS I got myself in such a state about him not latching on etc when he was born I put him on the bottle after about 1 week. I was never offered a shield or anything while in that particular hospital and I was a wreck as I was getting completely pressured about b/feeding him.....
At the hospital where I just had DD they were really great - on about the 3rd day they could see I was having problems and wasnt confident so I was offered the shield once my milk came in and it has been great.... I wouldnt have kept b/feeding up if I didnt have it so it has worked wonders for me....
It's just all the articles out there about supply dropping etc that had me concerned so thanks for your advice....I will keep going with it - the way I see it, the longer that she is able to b/feed the better and even if for some reason it only lasts another 2 weeks or something it's better she had breastmilk for that long than nothing....
