Nipple shield. Girl I was there too and it hurt but it will go away. Try not to cry just laugh. I would laugh if the pain because there was no reason to cry. Soon the pain will go away just remember that. You can do it. Also if you at the hospital let them know what’s going on.

Can you meet w a lactation consultant? The hospital I delivered in gave me access to one.

I use a nipple shield the first few weeks. It helps with that toe curling pain. Also get a good lanolin or organic boob cream for cracked and sore nipples and put it on after each feed or you can use your breastmilk and air dry
