You are not alone!!! It was hard for me also. I had most of my breastfeeding pains at the beginning when my breasts were sore from being sucked on all the time. Wow, I remember a lot of times crying until my breasts got toughened up. It's not fun, but worth it in the end and once you get in the routine, there is no more precious of an experience when your baby looks up at you and smiles while nursing .
