How do you feel like a mother if you can’t breastfeed?

How do you feel like a mother if you can’t breastfeed?

Please don’t tell me to try more or harder or eat this or that. This is my second child and I have been diagnosed with not having sufficient tissue to produce. I have tried everything.

I had been hopeful because this baby actually latched pretty well and was doing pretty good. But then I had to supplement a little and now they are absolutely refusing to take the breast at all.

I’m struggling with feeling like I’m a mother and not just a parent (and don’t say that dads bond just fine with babies so that it’s not an issue). My body is not doing what it’s supposed to do as a woman and as a mom and it’s heartbreaking for me.
