Nipple shield blues

Julia
Hey Ladies,
So breastfeeding is a bid rough for me and baby...first of all, he won't latch unless I use a nipple shield, which is a bit sad for me, not to mention inconvenient. Secondly, he always wants to go for his hands instead of my nipple, and we struggle for a few minutes before he'll finally latch onto the shield and he gets all worked up :( 
Does anyone have this problem too?? I feel like by breastfeeding, im making life harder for both of us, and it'd be easier to pump and bottle feed him 😭😭😭
