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?

my baby was fuzzy and crying all the time nung newborn pa sya. i did try everything to boost my milk supply like drinking milo, eating oats and other milk boosters, taking malunggay capsule but then nabasa ko na babies cry kasi they need your warmth, they need to hear your voice, smell your scent. sa loob kasi ng matres madilim at warm unlike dito sa labas maingay, nilalamig sila, may mga discomfort sila. kaya need sila iswaddle kasi super sensitive nila sa temperature changes. kung tayo naiinitan sila nilalamig. or kung nilalamig tau times 5 ung lamig na nararamdaman nila. if the baby cry ✔️ diaper, ✔️ gutom ✔️ kung naiitin sila sa bandang leeg or nilalamig sa bandang pisngi or cheeks, ✔️ kinakabag sila. minsan bored lang din sila. or di makatulog or maiingay..
