I am giving up on breastfeeding, I need a listening ear to close the episode.
No advice, just hugs. I know how you feel. Your son sounds like my dd. she would never latch. We eventually put her on formula at six weeks. My son was a feeding champion the first week, then ended up in hospital on a feeding tube due to a heart condition. I pumped the whole time he was in hospital but he came home on a feeding tube and trying to get him to feed coupled with the time I spent pumping meant my dd was getting no attention so he went on formula at four months.
Also, I had plenty of milk. The nurses said I had enough to feed half the ward! So no matter how good the supply. Sometimes it doesn't work out. I feel for you honey, I understand the guilt, the feelings of failure and the depression. Try to be kind to yourself. X
