Hi Jak,

You know, the only pain I ever experienced was when I asked a mw at the hospital to help me atatch Jacob. After that I just did it myself, if it hurt, then it wasn't right, take it out, try again. REPEAT, repeat, repeat...
By day 5 when I left hospital we had it down pat and have never looked back. It can be so easy to BF, It has been for me.
This is my story too. I found breastfeeding incredibly easy so I hope that this gives you some hope!
