If its painful they aren't latched properly you need to make sure baby is fully on your nipple to where around it is not visable aswell. I general sometimes your sensitive so you will find it might hurt you for the first week.

How many weeks PP are you? It does get better! It’s well worth sticking it out in my opinion for many reasons. I wanted to give up so many times but I’m so glad I didn’t now I’m 8 weeks PP. There will be local breast feeding groups or ask to speak to a feeding specialist at the hospital, sounds like your baby may have a shallow or bad latch x

Your health visitor can refer you to a lactation consultant. I found it really helped us, no more sore nipples! Lots of people are complaining about formula prices raising unfortunately, so that may bring new challenges along the way... ❤️

I would really recommend getting yourself a plug in pump to start with (wall pump) you can normally find one on vinted at a fraction of the full price. I have a spectra S2 and it works really well for me. I got some cheap wearables from Amazon to see how I responded to those and then eventually upgraded them too. Most pump parts you can order off of Amazon. I'm 6 months into exclusively pumping and it is tiring but my baby never got the hang of breastfeeding and this works for us.
I will add that pump parts do need replacing fairly often, valves every month and diaphragms every 3 months minimum otherwise it will affect your supply. Feel free to reach out if you have any pumping questions x
