I have been breastfeeding for two months now. Yes it is very painful for the first two weeks. But after the it doesn't hurt at all and it also reduces your risk for breast cancer

Have you set up an appointment to speak with a lactation consultant one-on-one? They always have videos for you to take home and the best, most relevant facts for bith breastfeeding as well as bottle feeding or even supplement feeding.
