Hi. You should check the latch of the baby on the breast. Turn the baby to your side. The baby s tummy should touch ur tummy. Stroke the nipple on the baby's lower lip by holding the breast in C shape manner. Once the baby opens a big O guide the baby s lips onto your breast such that baby takes as much as the black part that is areola into the mouth. Initial days it shall pain since you and your baby both are learning how to do it right. Give yourself time. Pain will settle. Only if you see your nipple cracking then you can apply your own breastmilk over the nipple. Quick tip- to avoid pain, after the baby has fed, don't pull the baby out from the nipple. Break the suction by slowly inserting your little finger (clean) from the side of the mouth. If any further queries, feel free to contact on 9920357437
