A very belated uptdae: Milo is now 14, almost 15 months old. At the 4 month mark he decided, on his own, that he was done with the shield. One day he just lunged for my naked breast before I could get the shield on, and over the next week we phased it out completely. (The hardest was when he was tired and not used to the new sensation.) I never did have a full milk supply, but as one of my lactation consultants told me, if he put up with all of our issues and still loves nursing so much, he must *really love nursing!* I stopped pumping at work at a little over a year, and he is still nursing at least three times a day during the work week, and even more on the weekends. He doesn't get much milk, but he loves his nursing, and so do I. We never, ever would have made it this far without the shield in those early months. The LC who finally suggested it, after things just weren't working, made the right suggestion for us.
