Issues with breastfeeding

My baby is almost two months now but still takes 20-25 mins to breastfeed. I can't make her latch properly. I feel she doesn't suck and remove milk effectively sometimes. She's gaining 140gms per week and has 8+ wet nappies everyday. Should I be worried? I don't know if my milk is sufficient for my baby. Also my milk supply takes around 3 hours to fully feed.

Fever on and off

My baby is having fever on and off for past 7 days, his main concern is severe cold due to allergy and we are using alerid,augmentin dds and p250 so far. We did blood work and urine all reports looks normal, we want to know what could be reason for fever over a week or we should do any additional tests since fever is staying less than 100 degrees C and he's active and food intake is also fine.
