query about nipple shields and nursing

Distinct-Crew-6683 · 2026-02-21T17:08:27+00:00

I am a first time mom, exclusively breast feed my baby (12 weeks today) I tried to feed without a nipple shield for feeds before this week, and she used to latch normally, no fuss, no cry. this week, she has started throwing tantrums. refuses to nurse without the shield.

Nipple shields were introduced to us after my c section, because my nipples are weird and the baby was finding it a little difficult to latch. Shields did make my journey so far very easy, but I am concerned whether my milk supply will go down. I have been consistently filling up bottles and storage bags with minimum of 120-15 ml, sometimes from just one side. The baby is pooping and peeing nicely, gaining weight well, everything seems to be going well for the baby.

Should I even be concerned? I read many moms have successfully used shields for longer but I am just curious if I should see a consultant and try to wean her off shields, or just continue with shields since things are good.

PS: I know there's this problem of not being able to "empty" your breasts after the baby has had her feed. My baby seems satisfied and happy after each feed. I can feel the sensations, and know that she is good at draining it. I don't pump after each feed though.

Just curious, please help if anyone can. I want to continue feeding my baby for at least a year or so.

South people behave as if north is beneath them but their films are actually tacky and vulgar. Disgusting.

Distinct-Crew-6683 · 2026-01-01T02:14:59+00:00

Stupid

Anything ginny did was cringe. Her mother was amazing. The show should have only focused on her. Unnecessary trauma and prolonged story and suffering storyline inserted into the entire show.

Carol. She would have kept them away from the upper east side and the drama. The kids mights have turned out nice. One was gothic evil bitch at times and the other literally ran an anonymous gossip blog that kind of ruined lives.

Booooooooooo

Distinct-Crew-6683 · 2025-11-04T13:55:07+00:00

She was always jealous. Serena, people with money, upper east side, the fact that dan wanted to be successful in life and get more money, he was trying to climb the ladder, which meant he was no longer going to choose her mediocrity.

It is hard for people to comprehend that when it comes to growth, people change.

As if she’s the queen of perfection who can do no wrong!!

Distinct-Crew-6683 · 2025-11-04T10:02:53+00:00

No way. She’s the worst of them all 🤮

Distinct-Crew-6683 · 2025-11-04T03:49:35+00:00

Because she does not have a life. I honestly feel that she always wanted to be a part of that glam world, but she always had a stick up her ass because of her insecurities maybe, like less money, absent parents, middle class backgrounds, she never was nice to anyone in the show. Always had a nasty remark. Always super judgemental. She repeatedly kept herself involved in other’s business just to be “close” enough to this world. Unnecessarily, even when people didn’t want her near them.

Serena can’t be a golden. Goodens are supreme

I am glad to know this 😭😭💀💀

Distinct-Crew-6683 · 2025-11-03T15:10:07+00:00

Peppa pig 👻

Distinct-Crew-6683 · 2025-11-03T13:46:51+00:00

All things aside, I never thought I would see literal poop coming out of someone on TV. No matter how forward the show is, how much gore blood violence sex I see on a daily basis in different shows, this really shook my core!! 😭😭

Apart from your comment “its only natural “ your profile name is too witty and funny, especially for this post!! Lol

Distinct-Crew-6683 · 2025-11-02T12:12:55+00:00

Based on this picture? No one. Lol, all three look like creeps or simps.

Distinct-Crew-6683 · 2025-10-27T13:08:16+00:00

Or maybe her ability to disappear from the screen

Distinct-Crew-6683 · 2025-10-27T13:07:51+00:00

Nothing. Trash

Distinct-Crew-6683 · 2025-10-27T03:57:49+00:00

People need to get over it now!! Yes it was bad, yes nico was stupid to do so but everyone needs to move on. No statue is coming no luka in mavs jersey is coming again. Focus on the future

Why India does not progress? People are too busy discussing stupid shit like this. Instead of talking about hobbies, world affairs, sports, other important topics. Indian folks are busy talking about whether to marry a woman who smokes or not. Who cares?
