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?

Alternating ako between breastfeeding and pumping breastmilk for my baby. We're trying to increase latching ni baby para mag-increase din breastmilk ko. Fussy rin si baby sa gabi kaya pinagla-latch ko, pero pag lumampas na 4 hours from last feeding niya at ayaw pa rin niya maglatch, I feed her pumped breastmilk sa bottle. Wala rin tulog, and minsan isang bag of breastmilk na lang naiiwan kaya nagwoworry ako. I bought a can of formula, nakatabi lang in case kailanganin, although I'm hoping hindi ko magamit. Puro inom ko ng sabaw din, sisikapin na breastmilk lang si baby kahit hanggang 6 months. Kanya-kanyang preference naman yan, important is healthy si baby.
