breastfeeding help - its so messy!

I cant use a smaller shield, the size I use pinches & rubs enough as it is.

Latch issues = not totally sure. He doesnt seem to have a tie but he just never used to be able to maintain his latch, which is why we started on shields. Now he can stay on for a bit but gets frustrated quickly without the shield.

Maybe the larger one then? I think I had the largest size because they said it's obviously better for the nipple, but also encourages them to keep their mouth open wider for nipple-shield transition.

My dd wouldn't even feed on my breasts after a while, but you get used to the shields, in the end you don't even think about it. Is the leaking better with the shield?

Does he damage you with his bad attachment?
