Getting first row from repeater field from post object in flexible content

I know the title of my question is a little confusing, so I will first explain what I am trying to do.

I have a flexbile content field, where I have made a post object field which is multi select. So I can select multiple posts in that field.

Now the posts which are selected in that field, there is a repeater field in those posts, which has multiple data, like title, description. I want to grab the first row of each repeater field.

So if I select 2 posts in post object. It will look for those 2 posts and grab the Title, Description from the first row of the repeater field of those 2 posts.

I hope I have made myself clear ?

So here is the code I am using to display it in the frontend.

<?php
    if( have_rows('customer_landing_page') ):

        while ( have_rows('customer_landing_page') ) : the_row();

            if( get_row_layout() == 'success_stories' ): ?>

                <div class="inner">

                    <div class="content-wrap">

                        <div class="post-content">

                            <h2>Client Success Stories</h2>

                            <?php $post_objects = get_sub_field('client');

                            if( $post_objects ): ?>
                                <ul>
                                <?php foreach( $post_objects as $post): ?>
                                    <?php setup_postdata($post); ?>
                                        <?php if (get_field('statistics')) : ?>
                                            <?php while(has_sub_field('statistics')): ?>
                                                <li>
                                                    <div class="stats-wrap">
                                                        <p class="stats-number"><?php the_sub_field('number'); ?></p>

                                                        <div class="stats-content">
                                                            <p><?php the_sub_field('description'); ?></p>
                                                            <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Find Out More</a>
                                                            <?php the_post_thumbnail( 'thumbnail', array( 'class' => 'aligncenter' ) ); ?>
                                                        </div>
                                                    </div>
                                                </li>
                                            <?php break; 
                                            endwhile;
                                        endif;
                                endforeach; ?>
                                </ul>
                                <?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
                            <?php endif; ?>

                        </div>

                    </div>

                </div>

            <?php endif;

        endwhile;

    endif;

    ?>

So as you can see, I am first running a while loop for flexbile content, and then using if row layout for that section. Then setting up post data for the post object.

I am using the break; for the repeater field, so that the loop breaks after first run and advances to the next post.

However, the problem that I am facing is, that it is outputting only 3 posts, while there are 4 posts, and the other weird thing happening is that it is running into an infinite loop, with the flexible content field repeating itself several times.

Here is a screenshot of the output so you can understand what’s going on.

This is just a part of screenshot. This row keeps on repeating till php execution time is exceeded.

When I use the_title() inside the post object, then it shows those 4 posts that I have selected.

Thanks !
