Is This Normal?

I've been trying to induce lactation recently through hand-stimulation and self suckling. I only started yesterday, so it's been a little over 24 hours of trying to induce. I've noticed that my breasts feel a little heavier, though that may just be due to the bras I wear, and my nipples are a little painful. There's been some small soreness that comes and goes. Is this normal or am I possibly doing something wrong that's causing the soreness?

Edit: To those who have or will reply to this post, you have my eternal gratitude. However, as I have recently found that inducing lactation is likely not possible without using a pump, I will most likely be inactive on this sub. Thank you again for your kindness, and maybe see y'all again someday soon. :)
