U might be giving bottle feeds which is easier to suck then breastfeed. Please try breastfeed first and avoid bottle feeds. Check for retracted or small nipples and proper attachment.

You have to keep trying for the baby to breastfeed. Formula feed alone is not recommended for newborns. It will lead to other problems.
