Please mention age and weight. Is he passing urine and potty? Better to meet a pediatrician if not taking feeds. To rule out any illness..

Newborns sometimes take some time to adjust to breast feeding. I do not know whether the baby is preterm or full term, but you need to start latching as much as possible , before you give top feeds/formula feeds. After top feeds baby will not take breast milk well till hungry enough for next feed And while latching, keep stimulating baby if falling asleep Good burping is the key to this, and after every feeds , 10-15 mins of keeping baby on shoulder needs to be done, regardless of whether baby is giving a burp or not.

How old is the baby. If the baby is term with no NICU requirements then latching will be the problem.
