The national breastfeeding helpline can give you some free support while you are waiting to see somebody.

Express and after a feed top up with what you manage to get out. Your milk is maybe not in yet, mine took 4 days. Tell the midwife /HV to check when you see her and also ask them to check for tongue tie. Dont give up bf though, I had this at first and then it got so easy x

Try the laid back/biological position - some good photos here https://cambridgebreastfeedingalliance.org.uk/photos-of-laid-back-breastfeeding/

Also don’t hesitate to reach out for support - National Breastfeeding helpline, local breastfeeding groups, your midwife/HV infant feeding team, or an IBCLC lactation consultant.

It can be really hard at first but is worth persisting, it gets much easier!

Ask the midwives for the infant feeding team, they need to come and observe a feed so you can get some hands on help
