i'd def agree with the PP re-working on attachment now. would you consider going to a local ABA class/meeting or getting an LC in again? it is a matter of trial & error - i felt like it took me ages to get right but once it is sorted out, the feeds are far less uncomfortable.
i know it seems draining now, but i promise it does ease - soon your baby will feed a bit less & even if they don't, you will find you can do other things at the same time that make feeds less stressful - for me, it took a while but once we were going really well, i'd read a book when i was feeding. other people seem to master feeding in a sling so they can still do chores or play with their other children.
don't feel selfish or guilty for feeling the way you do. there are plenty of us who feel/felt the same way. if you choose to keep going, we're here to support you & offer any advice we can
