What is age of baby now?.
Remember always try to Latch 1 st while feeding baby even If now latch issues as we don't know when it will improve so always try Latching and breastfeeding baby .
If after try there is no improvement then give Expressed Breast milk with Wati Spoon.Do not give your Expressed milk by bottle.If still need help in Latching baby then consult to Lactation Consultant whichever is available in your city. As they Will help in actual practice by helping you get adjusted to Breast feeding and also help baby get adjusted to Breast feeding .Enjoy Motherhood and stay positive it will help you.

Hi. As you said eventually it can decrease breast milk supply. Beeter feed by breast through proper lactation consultation for 15 mins every time. If cry still persist then you can think of other means
