I was in horrible pain when feeding at the start. I almost stopped breastfeeding. My midwife have me nipple shields and it made it Better!!

Couple of weeks. Ensure baby is latched properly and you keep up nipple care. You can use shields if it’s painful. Good luck 😊

Make sure baby is latching past the nipple..

It can take a couple of weeks until they toughen up. Put a little bit of breastmilk over each nipple and let them air dry after every feed. That helps a lot, also use nipple cream when you can. Make sure baby has latched correctly each time and the pain will fade quickly.
