I have just seen this thread! You are doing so amazingly well!!! Congratulations for trusting your body to do what it needs to do, I know that it can be a massive hurdle, especially when you haven't fed for long with previous kids, almost 8months down the track it is something that I sometimes still struggle with!

It sounds like Eden is getting used to breastfeeding, good job on feeding without the shields, I bet one day you will just realise you don't need them at all anymore!!

WOOHOO for a week that is a lifetime in the world of early days of bf when you have had problems!!! You should be so proud of yourself you are amazing and strong!!
