It was supposed to get easier...

At week 6 I finally felt like breastfeeding was actually starting to get easy! Well now my little guy is 8 weeks old and pulls off my boob at let down, screams, I burp him (sometimes he needs to burp, sometimes not), put him back at the boob, he nurses for a few more seconds and the cycle repeats itself. I think I have a fast let down. I don’t know what else it could be. I feel like we went one step forward and two steps back. I don’t know what to do... it’s making breastfeeding exhausting and unpleasant for both of us! Any experience this too?
