yes it's absolutely correct. new morms suffer with new experience about breastfeeding. my experience was horrible. my little baby was not suck to my breast till 15 days. some time my breast become like stone . I was try to feed him but it always make me unsuccessful mother. I express milk by hand till 15 days... and it was so painful... like someone expressing cow milk... that feeling was so weard.. after 15 days my baby take mymilk by own. the days was very sweet after few month I get pneumonia.. and I went forr covid test. my baby completely depend on my milk. he cry so much for 2 days.. my laws handle him by giving him fm.. but still he cry for me... but at that time my milk supply drop little bit I tried medicine and increasey mill supply on time ,after that now he is suffering with teathing.. so he bites to me a lot. I want to continue breats till 2 year.. but biting is issue now..
so all overall.. breastfeeding is not simple job... women suffered with alot . and it's only for baby

It's normal to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, or apprehensive the first time you try to breastfeed. If you're concerned about feeling exposed, let your nurse or caregiver know that you would like some privacy.

If there are visitors in your room, they can leave while you breastfeed. If you're in a hospital, you can use the privacy curtain. And, if you want to try to breastfeed on your own, you could ask to have some time alone with your baby.

Just keep in mind that it may be helpful to have a nurse, a lactation consultant, a doula, or someone else with breastfeeding experience stay with you in the beginning.

Be patient, keep trying...
