Struggling with newborn breastfeeding!

[TootsieBootsie]

My DD is 3 days and I'm struggling with breastfeeding!
Generally in the day she is ok but is getting more fussy when trying to latch on. She roots so I offer her boob, but she'll either not latch on and then scream or just latch on for a second then come off and scream. It's much worse at night and I gave in to formula last night as it got quite distressing and I was worried she was starving and I wasn't able to feed.
I've spoken to midwives about it and they aren't concerned at present....just wandered if anyone else has experienced similar? Any advice much appreciated!

It was over 20 years ago, but I found nipple shields helped for the first few weeks.

You've made it! Well done. Ds2 would only sleep on me for fps first 8 weeks so I made myself a kind of pillow throne and then a swaddle finally got him into Moses basket for a few hours.

Thank you for all your encouragement :) Really helped me through the dark hours of feeding!
Any idea what thread I post on for pooing problems?! Next problem lol

Post here if you like!

This happened when my DD was born, she's 10 now. I was still in hospital on day 3 and given no support, she had lost a lb in weight, they still didn't support me. I ended up begging for formula which they happily gave and then discharged me! I so wish I knew then what I know now, I suspect she might have had some degree of tongue tie.
