ds is six weeks and bf for just over a week I have had pain for the first minute or so of each feed on right side. It's like he has razor blades in his mouth tried different positions and it still hurts. left side is fine. any ideas what it could be ?

It sounds like a problem with his latch on that side. You really need to get to a proper breastfeeding counsellor (not a health visitor or midwife) to help you sort it out, as if you carry on with a slightly 'off' latch, you'll damage your nipple and then the whole thing will be harder & more painful to sort out.
