hellllo!! I'm breastfeeding babygirl is 5 days old. she doesn't like bottles, my nipples are so sore…

Baby may have a shallow latch or a tongue or lip tie h hi ndering a correct latch

what can I do? @meagansimone

Has baby been evaluated for ties?

This can help achieve a proper latch.

that's how she's latching... @meagansimone

She may have a lip or tongue tie. Get checked by your ped or an ibclc to confirm

Yeah my baby was tongue tied and we got it fixed when she was 2 weeks old and after about a week and a half, things got much better! Even if that's not the case, the best advice I can give you is don't give up! it will get easier and when it does, it's so worth it!

I'd use a nipple shield.

I would also suggest lanolin on your nipples as well. I use the brand lansinoh, and it really helps with the soreness. Check Walgreens but most stores should have it
