We are having a very similar BFing experience!
I'm glad I found this thread as I can use the same advice
My mission is to get off the nipple shield! I have our ebm feeds down to a bed time top up and sometimes a day one if we are out.
I've not been willing to have the public battle with first the shield and then his thrashing about. This is why I'd so love to get off the shield cause Id have no probs feeding in public then
