Have you tried a nipple shield? I know that's only one of the problems you're having, but every little bit can make a difference. I used a nipple shield off & on for the first few months because my son had trouble latching & it was a life saver!

thanks so much @samclark5🙂

Hang in there mama. I promise it gets better. I was in your shoes just two weeks ago and it's already better. You'll figure out what works for you and how to get the baby to not be fussy faster and your body will heal even though it feels like you got hit by a bus. Hang in there and just remember to breathe and look at your sweet baby's face and remember it's all worth it 💕💕💕 the breastfeeding gets easier too, try googling images of latching techniques cause it makes a difference to see how it's supposed to look. Also if you can invest in "Earth mama angel baby natural nipple butter" this stuff has saved my nipples. I was using lanolin for the first week and it was nasty smelling and sticky and gross and just didn't work for me but this stuff is amazing. I use it before and after breastfeeding(it's safe for baby) and it has healed my nipples and protected them too. Just hang in there Hun 💕
