Hi Please dont worry about this. It is quite common for babies to refuse feeding the first few days. Remember, the baby is young and does not know the procedure to feed. And also, they are extremely short tempered. They expect everything to be right .. It will help for you to see a breast feeding nurse. Who can go through the situation and assist you. Its extremely important to breast feed,  so that the baby gets the right nutrients and you continue producing enough milk. In the mean time , continue to express the milk and feed it through a spoon carefully after learning the method Please see the nurse and remember it's very common and never blame yourself.
