If your baby is not sucking correctly at the breast you need to find a lactation consultant who has experience with suck training. You need a method of teaching the baby to suck correctly at the breast.
The first step is usually to stop bottles and finger feed with a tube from the bottle to your finger instead of using a bottle teat. Once the baby is sucking well this way move to the breast. If the baby sucks at the breast but no enough the best method is usually to use a lactation aid.

It might be a good idea to ask if you have expereince of suck training. Most lactation consultants should have this experience.
