Breastfeeding Is Not Always Natural

It is a learned skill, not an instinct. Get a lactation consultant early.

They call it the most natural thing in the world, and then your baby won't latch, your nipples crack and bleed, and you're sobbing at 3 AM wondering what's wrong with you. Nothing is wrong with you. Breastfeeding is a learned skill for both of you, and getting a lactation consultant early is one of the best investments you can make.
