Not every cry is due to hunger. A neonate may cry while passing urine, diapers are wet or temp is cold. So first 3 weeks it is difficult to know the reason. Encourage breastfeeding, can do nipple syringing (for flat nipples). If you shift to top feeds now, then breast milk will dry up and then child will be only on top feeds unfortunately. No bottle feeding as it can cause gas and child may remain irritable. Child should be sleeping on back after burping for 30 minutes. If still having doubts, then can take a consult.
