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?? ?
