Am I A Bad Mother?

Just delivered few days ago and my baby refused to latch on me no matter wat. Seen lactation consultatnt n they also tried but cant. Have milk but due to lack of e grip, baby doesnt like to latch on. My boobies gt engored so painful and i just had csect. Wound pain, contraction pain, boobies pain. Nt getting good slp n rest. Am thinking of stopping breastfeeding but yet i felt y so many other mummies can do it but i cant. Am i being a bad mother?? ?

just keep practicing. I'm a c sec mom with over supply milk Initial stage I'm having such a hard time that I decided to pump it took me 2 weeks to master how to nurse property

No worries. Had csect and trouble initially whn breastfeeding. For sure it was very very stressful but eventually you will get a hang on it. 💪🏻 gambatte

My baby couldn't latch too until 8 weeks. I woke up to pump 3h everyday. Don't give up mummy, it is sure tough but keep going if you can

Don’t feel bad. I can’t get my baby to latch on me too. I just pump and bottle feed them. (Both my LO) it’s totally fine

    But even i pump n feed, the amount is so little. Only when is engorged i can only get 5ml max. I felt wan to give up.

    Latching is a skill that takes time to learn.be patient and work together with your baby.

    Do you want to pump it out so you will feel better and your baby gets to drink bm

    Nope. Jus pump it out n feed ur baby. Then latch on n off

    Most importantly is to make sure your baby is fed.

    pump. don't pressure yourself too much.

    I had ssme problem, so i just pump
