Nipple shield concern

My daughter is 2 months old and currently feeds only with a nipple shield (Autoflow brand). We have tried many times to breastfeed without the shield, but she is not accepting it. I also noticed that the silicone material of this nipple shield feels a little hard. Will using a nipple shield cause any oral development problems in the future? Also, could you please guide us on how to help our baby latch directly onto the breast without using the shield? Thank You.

Constipation problem

My son is having constipation problem and we have used constipation relief syrups for nearly 2.6 yrs. Doctor decreased dose gradually and said to stop recently. It has been 15 days I stopped giving syrup to him. My doubt is should i give 8 glasses of water daily to my toddler . Does it cause over drinking of water to him. If I give him lot of water he is peeing for every 30 min. My doctor said give lot of water, fruits, veggies, fibre food. Does eating fruits daily for 2 servings in children cause diabetes. Is eating fruits daily healthy.How to overcome constipation with out giving lot of water as he is toddler does frequent peeing cause losing of minerals in body. Should I stop giving him 8 glasses of water does it over burden kidneys for his age

Regarding sending preschool

My baby is 2.5 years old. I don't know that i should send him preschool at this age or let him spend some time at home & then enroll him in nursery at age of 3 years. What should be a better approach according to his age. His language development is good. He knows his mother tongue well. He can form complex sentences & also i teach him at home but I don't know what is best for him. I am really scared of his separation anxiety & emotional well being. I don't want to create an emotional burden on him. But don't know right approach or guidance if anyone can suggest sending him prenursery or teaching him at home till 3 what will be better idea? Please suggest. I would be highly grateful
