woohoo! What a great achievement Mel! And don't worry so much about the sheilds - as Gigi said whatever works. I used them for 9mths with DS, 3-6wks (I think?) with DD. Once they were bigger the attachment problems solved themselves and there are plenty of ladies on here who have used shields who can give you pointers on weaning if you need help when you want to stop.
Congrats again on your BF acheivement - and the Banana cake - wow - super mama!
Well done hun. That is such awesome news. You are a champ!!
It sounds like she is feeding much better now so you'll probably find she'll continue to wake when she needs to for a feed. If not though, I'd keep waking her every 3 hours during the day until you have checked that she is gaining weight again.
As for counting the feeds - you would count each "little" feed when she's cluster feeding.
She feeds at least every 3 hours - sometimes both sides, sometimes just one side. She's a bit of a catnapper though, which is annoying with 2 other kids to take care of!! There is always someone screaming at me!
