I had a horrible time bf ds1. Took three months before I was pain free. One of the problems I has was that the night my milk came in ds was on my boob for hours. The next day I was sore and had cracks which then got infected leading to weeks of crying through feeds. I did get through it and feed for 2 years and 2 months and it was worth it but I also got quite depressed at the start and am scared of going through the pain again.
I am wondering if the baby wants to feed all the time if it is ok to take them off the breast for a bit and try and sooth in other ways. I did end up using a dummy for a few weeks with ds as he just wanted boob 24/7 and I couldn't cope. I just want to avoid the problems I had last time.
