My nipple has been cracked very badly so am using breast shield nipple to feed my baby. Some of people told me that it will decrease milk. Is it true sir. Am worried.

No it will not decrease milk but sometimes if baby gets used to artificial nipple may not like to go back to original. You must have many boiled nipple shields ready for avoiding infection.
