A. The baby might be having nipple confusion and might be preferring drinking with the nipple shield as baby has grown more comfortable with it. You have to keep trying and avoiding nipple shield for sometime so that the baby gets used to your nipple directly. If it is not a problem for you you can feed with a nipple shield itself on.Write Your Answer Here

A. It can be latch issue. try you can take help and try to feed your baby. While they hold the baby you can feed the baby and help baby to latch. It would take a few weeks to get trained. Have patience and feed baby. Make sure you sit comfortably and feed baby. Support yourself with cushions an d pillows and you can feed. Also teach your baby to latch slowly.
