MINNY - So sorry I forgot to put in my earlier post, I am so sorry that your incision had to be re-opened...how scary and horrible for you I hope that now you're on the mend and you can move on with your life!

ILLEYENA I think I might have to keep using the shields too, I know my supply isn't being affected yet as when he has a break the shields fill up and I have to empty them a couple of times before he's ready to start again..Strange thing is that he was feeding OK on them when he was first born without shields but now they seem too small for him? Perhaps the shield is easier for him so he doesn't want to bother with the straigh BB. I will go to the local BF clinic to see if they can have a look.
