If you can stick with it just remember you'll save tons of money. Your baby will get the best most natural thing. And you'll never have to worry about being enough bottles, formula, and stuff with you on and outing.
@californiahaley, I know. the things u mentioned are what I keep telling myself. I guess the act of breastfeeding isn't necessarily difficult, its it's what comes with it. Getting the baby to latch properly is probably one of the most important things and it's been hit or miss with my baby since shes been born. I've watched bids and talked to a LC on how to do it and all, but sometimes she gets a good latch and other times she doesn't and I'm in pain. I keep hearing its not supposed to hurt by now but it still does. I'm just super frustrated.
@californiahaley, I haven't, but when she was born, the nurse who helped me with getting her to latch confirmed that she wasn't tongue tied. maybe she was wrong?
Nipple shield works wonders. Try the Medela one. Mine wouldn't latch right either and I had sore nipples. Now that I've been using the shield, I look forward to nursing. My only complaint is that it can be time consuming and it takes time away from my family who still need me. My husband is even to the point to where he suggested we start supplementing formula. I hope he knows what he's asking for. That means now he can stay up all night and feed while mama gets some rest.

Have you spoken to a doctor about possible lip or tongue tie? Could be causing the pain

Nurses don't always know. If it's painful I would get a second opinion. Could be an upper lip tie which is hard to spot
