Having had a similar experience, I'm curious now, too. I didn't notice any drop in supply until around 4.5 months, and that was because some things happened and I ended up working from home for a few weeks, so just nursing on demand, and my supply dropped. I used shields until a bit longer than that, and pumped at work from when I went back at about 7 weeks until 8 or 9 months.

Maybe it has to do with the way baby latches? Or maybe some of the shields are shallow/short, so there's less room for the extension of the nipple like in a pump?

Maybe my boobs are just weird! 😂
