Please consult your gynaecologist in person, she/he will refer you to a lactation specialist.
As a new mother, there is plenty of anxiety around adequately feeding your baby. You need to confirm if there are latching issues or some other problems like tongue tie of baby etc. These are solvable but again, mother and baby need to visit a gynaec.

Please consult with your Gynaecologist in the hospital where you had your delivery.
Such things are best taught by the Doctor or Nurses in the hospital where they can even give you a demonstration from the other patients who are feeding their babies.

If latching is an issue please meet your paediatrician in person to help you.
You can also lie down side ways and feed your baby. Support the breast so it doesn’t fall on the babies nose.
A paediatrician will demonstrate to you about latching and other ways in person which is better and more convenient than following a youtube video. The doctor can also point out mistakes you are probably making when you discuss in person.
