Oh wow. I never knew you could do a breast crawl so long after birth. Do you think i could try it with dd, just for the fun of it?

Mel, I used shields for eight weeks with ds. We had the same kind of problem- he just couldn't attach. They were a God send. I actually copped a lot of flac of mchn's for them, but I figured better to bf with shields than not at all (I never even considered full time expressing, it just didn't occur to me). I have also heard theycan effect supply, but never had a problem, although I definately felt the difference once I stopped using them- it was so much more stimulation, i think if I had tried them again after not using them for a while, my milk might have dried up, iykwim?
