Pain while breastfeeding

Bri

I’m really struggling with breastfeeding my second (he’s 6 days old). On top of cramps and cracked nipples, I’m in extreme pain when nursing. The pain persists for 5-10 minutes. The pain feels like my nipple is being sucked off of my body. I don’t know if it’s the way he latches or maybe a lip tie? The only problem is I also have to wear a nipple shield so I don’t know how to change his latch. I need help😞
