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?? ?

I understand how you feel. My baby used to happily latch on me until last nite (3rd days) she throws tantrum at me for making her latching. She keeps on pointing my nipples and shoving it away from her like trying to tell something about it but I can’t understand. I got sore nipples btw on both nipples. But I don’t want to give up yet and give her formula. In the meantime I’m pumping my milk and nurse help me use syringe to feed her.
