I failed as a mum

Question

I just gave birth nong september 19 to our 2nd baby, and sa lying in lang ako nanganak, at hindi pa lumalabas milk ko nun at lumulubog din nipples ko, pero pinapa-latch ko pa rin kay baby dahil goal ko is to exclusively breastfeed my lo. Kinabukasan, pag-uwi namin sa bahay, umiiyak si baby kaya pina-latch ko kaso ayaw nya kahit anong paraan ginawa ko. Ginawa ni hubby bumili sya ng formula at yon pinainom kay baby. Nong start na tumatagas na milk ko, pinapa-latch ko sya pero may times na hes crying unctrollably. Kanina pinapa-latch ko pero iyak ng iyak si baby, nagalit si hubby at nagmura siya at parang ako sinisisi dahil baka magkasakit si baby kakaiyak, tumahimik lang ako dahil ayoko mag-away kami, i just cried silently and just give formula feed kay baby to stop him from crying. And i thought susuko na lang siguro sa pag-breastfeed dahil hindi ako ini-encourage ng kasama ko sa buhay.What should i do?#advicepls #theasianparentph #breasfeedingmom

one of the factors in successful breastfeeding is support. pwede nyo po ihand express ang breastmilk if meron na and then bottle feed kay LO. and try nyo pa din ipalatch si baby from time to time as much as possible. whatever your choice will be, formula or breastmilk, fed is best. 💙❤
