Anyone else exclusively pumping? Tips needed to deal with pain

Baby unable to latch despite tongue tie correction so pumping to still provide breast milk.
Measured nipples, got the right flange sizes, found a pump that works but my nipples and breasts are so sore! 5 weeks in and I have a good supply and freezer stash but the pain is alot.
I am pumping once at night then during the day, approx 5-6 times per 24hrs for 30 mins each time.
Any tips?

So sorry that you're finding it painful @MrsMiagi. I'd give one of the BFing Helplines a call and talk it through with a BFC. I haven't got much experience of pumping sorry Flowers

How are you getting on now @MrsMiagi?
