Breast feeding has several benefits including good weight gain so it's the first priority.
Can get checked for breast related problems like flat nipple or breast engorgement. Till then continue with formula feeds with clean water.

Mother’s milk is best to increase weight . If breast milk is not sufficient, then you can give pre-formula in correct dilution.
