Bf with nipple shield ... in a sling?

Anyone who feeds with a nipple shield- have you managed to bf in a sling? If so please share tips!

How do you position baby so shield doesn't come off & milk spill everywhere?

DC is 7 weeks so can't yet find the boob and attach on her own. Long cluster feeds & a toddler mean I want to try a sling.

Btw we are still trying to learn to attach without shields but not there yet.

TIA

Hello Kato I haven’t got any experience of nipple shields but I wondered if you are getting any RL help? Is there a Bfing Support group near to you like LLL?

Thanks Everyone yes have got good Support from local bf group, just trying to make life easier with the shield until we can do without it :)
