As you said, your baby can't take nipple properly in his mouth, it means that he can't suck the breast properly. Breast pump may help to the extent that baby gets breast milk without effort.
You may consult your Gynaecologist to check if the nipple is too short or it has some problems due to which baby can't suck it properly.

Yeah! You can use breastpump to measure the amount of milk. If you are first time mother, you can go for online breast feeding counselling for better techniques of latching. Frequent, regular pumping also increases breast milk
