I've been BFing my 6 week old with shields since about a week in when my nipples were split in two and bleeding... It has been fine but I'm keen to get off the shields. The last day or two we've been trying some feeds without shields and it's been ok. He's not terribly happy about it but we've both just about made it through the feeds unscathed, except I end up with milk all down my front!
I'm assuming he is letting it out or it is leaking out the side of his mouth? Why would this happen? His latch is ok I think - trying to follow the flipple technique and if painful we start again... Any thoughts or hints?
Thanks!

If I end up with milk all down my front I assume I'm doing it wrong?
