I've been in a similar situation.
DD was in hospital for 6 1/2 weeks and I expressed for 7 weeks.
I too used a shield for a week.
My milk just disappeared and I had to give her formula.
I felt like an utter failure but now I realise that formula is best for DD. I couldn't keep starving her and forcing her breast feed.
I feel your pain, honey.
