Finished with Nipple shields

So happy, it’s been a week now since I last used my nipple shields, bub is 5 months old next week and I’ve been using them since he was a week old. He always latched fine but my nipples were so sensitive that it alway hurt. He started taking them off during his feeds last week and I got sick of putting them back on every feed so thought I’d try again without, it’s hurt a couple times but most times doesn’t hurt anymore. I’m so happy as I hated having to always clean them all the time
