A. hi mam, initial days with newborns are very hard. but please don't give up you can try different feeding positions like cradle position,cross cradle position etc you can also use nipple shield for time being. I would suggest Babyhug nipple shield. keep the environment calm and dark while feeding. maintain skin to skin Contact while feeding your child.
