Formula feed baby from born

Hi mummies, i just gave birth few days ago and found out i have inverted nipple and not able to latch baby and that made me so sad and demoralised. They told me to pump or hand express instead, to also use pump to stimulate milk. I tried pumping for 3 times, was able to get very few drop of colostrum. But pumping kind of affecting my mental, especially when i need to pump every 3 hours to stimulate milk/colostrum. Altho i only tried few times. Currently baby on formula since birth. Am I really a bad mother if I want to only formula feed my baby instead of exclusive pump or mix feed ? Any mummies formula feed their baby from born and doing well ? #FTM #pleasehelp

I myself is a formula fed baby since birth. Nothing wrong and I’m quite pretty hahahah! I’m 5mth pp and doing mixed feeding, baby is drinking more fm than bm as I a low supply mom. I took supplements and lactation bakes and I try hard not to blame myself that my baby is not on full bm. Sometimes social media creates stress and guilt, making us fm moms feel terrible about ourselves. Bm is not the only good food that you’re going to feed your child. That’s my mantra :)
