Nippleshield?!

Question

I’ve been breastfeeding for 50 days now, however I have been using a nippleshield most of the time, because I have extremely sensitive and bleeding nipples. I am worried that my LO will be confused when I finally start breastfeeding without them! 
Someone has had a similar experience!!?

Answer

When I transitioned my son from the shield the first time I would start with the shield and then around half way through take the shield off and keep feeding him.  It helped both of us to transition a little at a time that way.  Way to go breastfeeding despite setbacks, it isn’t easy!!

Answer

I used a nipple shield for 10 weeks with my first and for 7 weeks this time round. With my first son he happily went to just my normal nipple when I tried. I kept trying every week and up until 10 weeks my nipples still bled and cracked. Suddenly at ten weeks it didn’t hurt and didn’t make me bleed! I then carried on without them until 13 months. This time round I haven’t tried without them yet..... but I’m hoping he’ll transition just as easily!
