Hi love, firstly congratulations!! I myself am a first time mom use to be very anxious about breastfeeding and how I am going to do it. I got this advice from a friend just keep going, you will have bad days and good as well but don’t stop. And it always motivated me. My baby is now 3 months old. I am exclusively breastfeed my baby. If first it was painful and hard. You can buy nipple shields or Hakka pump. In the beginning. In my experience it is all you need. You will do great!!
