Feel I’m a lousy mom

Didnt breastfeed, did pumping, supply not enough, newborn keep crying for milk, not sleeping well, now baby is 10 mo, I still feel so lousy at times. He keeps rubbing eyes n nose, i don’t know what’s wrong. Seems like I have made many wrong decisions eg not letting him have pacifier n teether when he was young, not sending him to ifc... etc

I didn’t latch, but I pump & still provide breastmilk. My supply is not enough, so I give formula . The baby still get fed. So pls don’t blame urself for it. If he keep running eyes & nose, maybe he’s feeling tired? I don’t give pacifier (and I didn’t regret it) and she don’t like teether (so I didn’t give). My girl goes to Ifc bcos there’s no one to take care of her at home, not because we want to . I don’t feel at all being a lousy Mum. In fact, I’m feeling great. So if you think there’s something not right, try to find the reason and fixed it. And you are definitely not a lousy mum
