I feel like a bad mom

So I have been breastfeeding my 11 day old son. Last couple days he did not want to breastfeed and I ended up giving him a bottle, with breast milk. I would always try breast first. I know i'm producing enough but he just did not want to latch.. I love breastfeeding but he really isn't latching well... I feel so awful for not getting him to latch anymore..anyone else have a problem with this? Any ideas or advice?

    I am having a really hard time with latching. I posted my issue below yours title struggling. Try a support group or lactation consultant in your area. You aren't a bad mom.

    You are not a bad mom!  Breastfeeding is hard work! I suggest seeing a LC or finding someone from the LLL to help.  It could be the easiest problem to fix if the proper person sees what is going on. 
    PPD/PPA Mom...it has been super hard, but I'm making it! Slow steps...
