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?? ?

Hi you're doing a great job! initially the colustrum which is very thick might be difficult to pump out.. You could try hand expressing out till you feel relieved of the engorgement and maybe syringe feed it to baby. And for a start top up with formula if baby still demands more once your milk supply is established you can reduce formula feeding :)
