I hate breastfeeding

Shasta
So my nipples are trashed. I cry through feedings and dread when he gets hungry. I've seen 2 lactation consultants, been treated for a nipple yeast infection, have the all purpose nipple cream, and still no relief. Oh and one of my breasts doesn't really produce. Yesterday I pumped and bottle fed to get some relief. Last night I fed from the breast and it seemed like the pain was worse. I know it's a latch issue, but I CAN'T get him to latch correctly. Plus he unlatches and relatches several times at the beginning of every feeding. I don't want to give up already (he is 2.5 weeks old) bit I'm starting to feel like I have no option, I can't keep doing this.
