Demand fed babies feed much better than force fed babies. Let him pace himself.
If you have engorged breast, please express some milk. That will help him latch on easier.
Rubbing nose might be some allergy. If you think he has nasal block, you could apply Saline Nasal Drops.

Hi.
Feed the baby only on demand and burp after every feed. Keep the baby head end up while feeding to prevent choking. Rubbing nose or eyes or ears are normal at this age.
