Stay positive! If you really want to BF must try to relax and stay confident that your body can provide for LO. They will latch often and for long periods of time. It can be hard to find the right positions, try a nursing pillow it really helped us. Latching is the easiest in the long run and helps maintain your supply. Try to avoid bottle feed this early, it is highly likely your baby would get nipple confusion which is very challenging to overcome. Good luck and turn to BF support groups, lactation consultants for support if your goal is to exclusively breastfeed. If it is I also strongly suggest not to top up with formula. It will just kill your supply.
