how to wean baby from latching with nipple shield

Hi mummies, can you suggest how i can train my 1month old baby to latch to me without using nipple shield? My nipple maybe seems small so whenever i try he sometimes can latch but also for a few sec. And whenever he is hungry, he dont want to latch directly so when i pit back the nipple shield thats the only time he will latch and suck.

Start breastfeeding with the nipple shield in place. Once milk is flowing well, and your baby has had a little breast milk to take the edge off his appetite, break your baby's latch from the breast by slipping a finger between his gums. Remove the shield and quickly bring baby back to the breast.
