Aw, first time mom struggles talaga, pero yan ay common problem, promise! So a few of us moms actually went through this, one of my friends used nipple shields para mas comfortable ang latch ng baby, at may iba ring nag-try ng different breastfeeding positions like the football hold para mas manageable yung angle. Since you're experiencing pain or difficulty, I'd really suggest checking with your OB or a lactation consultant kasi they can assess kung tama ang latch at guide you properly, nakaka-discourage kaya ang first weeks, pero solvable talaga yan with the right support. In the meantime, you might also want to try Mama's Choice Nipple Cream because it's safe for breastfeeding and honestly helped a lot ng friends ko na nag-struggle with sensitivity, especially during adjustment period.
