Breastfeeding is very difficult in first 2 weeks.
Attachment and position is very important and difficult in initial days. Also, child is very sleepy in first 2 weeks so that adds to the problem.
Continue your efforts. Try to feed after every 2 hours and start with breastfeeding only, then only consider top feeds.
Breastfeeding is hormonal so don't take stress or anxiety otherwise it affects the breast milk. Take more liquids and wholesome food. 6 to 8 hours of sleep.
You will get it by 2nd week.

Take Perinorm 10 mg
1 tab 3 time in a day for 3 days
Take 2 to 3 litre of water per day
Ofcourse be stress free, you may listen light music and see your baby's playful activity.
Milk will surely let down.
