Bless you, it can be so hard at the beginning, I was the same and it started to get better around 6 weeks and no pain by 8. Are you able to put baby in different positions to help ease it? I found laying my baby on her front on my tummy was a more comfortable latch. You've got this, you're doing amazing!!

Speaking from experience it shouldn’t be painful after the first few days. Where are you based? Have you considered getting the latch assessed/seeing a lactation consultant?

I didn't find it painful but very intense for the first latch every time for the first 6 weeks. Then it got better. Keep up the great work mama! And by 3 months your boobs will regulate and get softer. This is normal. 👍
