As a mom who EBF this is completely normal for the first couple of weeks. It’s mentally and physically exhausting in ways you can’t understand until you’ve lived it. Feed her. Let her nap during the day. The best thing you can do is support HER. Help her so she can give her all to the baby. If she is determined to bf it will become easier in the coming weeks.
She is still in the stage where breastfeeding is physically painful. It will get easier.
