Would you consider having an LC to help you with it? I guess it's really up to you - if you are happy to keep using them then it's probably ok, I am just thinking that it could be more difficult down the track. After 9 weeks your bub is probably very used to it. It took me 3 weeks to wean DS from the shields - he'd have some feeds with and some without once the t-t was snipped. And he had only been using them for 2 weeks (the first week he couldn't attach at all so was drinking EBM).

The ABA helpline might be able to give you more tips - 1800 mum2mum.

It's not an easy one hun. I wish you all the best with whatever you decide.
