My 2 month old baby is not drinking bf milk properly and sleeping immediately after 2 minutes of latching..this continues whole day..if we force him either he vomits or spit up whole milk..it takes 1 to 2 hrs for him to complete 80ml of expressed milk..I am worried that is he getting enough milk and he gained 500gms weight for 1 month...is there anything I can do...my parents are saying that he is not drinking well due to hot weather.. should I give him formula feed

Dear parents,
Hold the baby in one arm keeping his head at elbow joint and the buttocks in the palm of same arm and feed the baby for 15to20minutes.
Hold the outer palm of baby in between thumb and index finger and press the palm when ever baby sleep or stop feeding.
After feeding put the baby on left shoulder and pat just behind stomach level for 5mintues to burpe.
Baby burp 3to5times.
Now lay the baby on right side of baby with a small pillow under the head so that head is above level of stomach.
