Hi..my lo is a total breastfed baby since birth. she has at least 6 wet diapers a day but her weight gain is very slow. currently 17 weeks and weighing only 5.3kg. I don't feel any pain at all during and after breastfeeding but I notice that my nipple misshapen. I tried making my lo open mouth bigger to achieve deeper latch but it my nipple still ends up misshapen. Is my lo not getting enough milk thus the slow weight gain? it also doesn't help that she's a very active baby.

Continue to feed baby. Try to keep baby distracted whilst drinking. You may also want to encourage her to drink more milk. You can gently latch and unlatch that works for me and my boy. Hope it helps you too.
