Did it hurt at first and/or did it become easier to get baby latched on as time went on? I'm bf 3-week old dc but nipples are a bit flat and although I really try to get a good latch it can take some time to get her on at all which I find quite stressful. Also,the actual feed doesn't hurt but the first minute or so of sucking is still really painful and although my nipples aren't getting any worse, they aren't healing either and still look red raw on the side nearest wherever her chin goes. Does this sound like a latch issue, or to do with their shape, or just normal early-breastfeeding soreness? She is definitely getting enough as has put on loads of weight but I just wish I could stop dreading each feed! Thanks
