a breast pump saved my life. I pump more than I breast feed. I've always had sensitive and tender nipples. that first week of just breast feeding was the worst!!

give it a couple of weeks, it will get much better. Your nipples just have to get used to it. Constant feeding ensures that your body will produce enoigh for him. hang in there

use coconut oil after every feeding. it will be a tremendous help

he has to use a nipple shield right now. he wont latch to my nipple. But he's on it for so long. i realized switching from one side to another helps alot i just gotta suck it up for now haha. thank you!@kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom

Breastfeeding shouldn't hurt too bad. Make sure baby is latched on currently. Baby will be nursing very frequently. It may be annoying in the beginning but it will help boost your milk supply and I promise things will get better and easier!
