I am stressed and feel like a failure because I am struggling to breastfeed. How do I cope?

Difficulty breastfeeding does not make you a failed mother; it is a common challenge many mothers face, and there is usually a way through. Stress and guilt can actually make milk production harder, so first ease the burden on your heart. Get help from a clinic or lactation consultant on the right technique, and ask your husband to take on other work so you can rest. If your milk is still not enough after trying, meeting your baby's needs in another way is not a sin. What Allah values is your effort and love, not perfection. Look after your emotional health as well. See mental health.
