Does it make me less of a mom?

As a FTM, I tried my best to breastfeed my newborn for a month. (she's one month old now) but I decided to give it up today. Napansin ko, my baby barely gained weight and she's always fussy Lalo na pag Gabi. Hindi sya nakakatulog din ng matagal. On top of these, my mental health is already at stake trying to do my best to breastfeed. Sobra ang postpartum depression at anxiety ko. Lalo na pag nakikita ko na hirap at restless ang anak ko. Does anyone here experience the same?

If it’s affecting your mental health na momsh, feel free to feed your baby formula. Mas important na you’re in the right state of mind when taking care of baby. Relax, get some sleep and give yourself a pat on the back. You’re doing your best and that’s more important, whether you breastfeed or not.

same tayo mommy ganyan yun 2nd baby ko sobra iyakin lalo ja sa madaling araw kahit kakapa dede ko pa lang. normal siguro saknila yun kaso nga yun mental health natin na aapektohan ako nga gusto ko na mag bitaw kaso dagdag gastosin pa. kaya natin to mommy 😊💖

Same here mommy. 1 month na rin si LO ko at FTM din ako. Nakakafrustrate lang din dahil ayaw ilatch ni baby ang breast ko. Nasanay na siya sa tsupon. Ang ginagawa ko pumping na lang. Kaya lang may times na sobrang pagod na ako at di ganun kadami milk supply ko.

Pag fussy bka may kabag po, kabagin kasi pag bottle feed baby kesa sa breastfeed, may over feeding din kasi pag bottle minsan reason din un
