thanx alot rashpal replied. I used the nipple shield with my son for a few weeks until he got used to the idea of latching on. It will not reduce your milk in any way. Some people actually use the shield for months and months - there is nothing negative about using it (in terms of the baby). It might just be irritating to you to always have to put it on. If it serves the purpose of getting your child fed, then keep using it. Eventually your baby will be able to feed without using the shield! rashpal replied.
