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?? ?

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.
