Hi my turn, welcome and congrats on your little peanut.
Yes the latching and bfing in general does get easier.
My little girl turned 5 weeks yesterday and although we're still doing mixed feeding my LC is working very hard with me to help me get my supply back, which dropped when I had to stop feeding due to cracked and bleeding nipples from bad attachment.
After a bit of time off and perseverance bub is feeding nicely now and attaching well, she just needs more milk from me to give the formula the flick.
I had always thought and expected bfing to be a lovely bonding experience and an enjoyable part of motherhood, I had NO idea how challenging and difficult it could be.
Stick with it and work with the LC, you'll get there. Although I'm still working through the challenges myself, it's much more pleasant now that our attachment has improved and I'm enjoying the time I spend feeding/bonding with my little girl now.

How are you finding motherhood otherwise? Getting any sleep? Lol
