My nipple feels sore and there's a dull pain while i breastfed my baby. is this normal to happen?

Yes: It is not uncommon for this to happen paricularly when you first start out. Gently push more breast tissue into your baby's mouth as he begins sucking. You can use vitamin E oil or lanolin on your nipples, this will help soften them. Either way it gets better with time.
