Please consult your Gynaecologist who helped you during delivery or Caesarean.
They will have some senior nurses who can give you a demonstration on how to feed your baby.

Check if the breast is hard- if it is give hot compression and express the milk,
Check if the nipples have craks - if there use nipple shield
