nipple confusion

My girl is 2weeks old and we introduced bottle too early resulted she is having nipple confusion. She is not fussed when latching but the suction was weak and not getting enough milk. She would wake up 1-2 hours for milk. My supply affected as well. Become lesser and lesser. Shall i continue to let her latch on until she master breastfeeding again? But i think my supply will be dropping a lot and she would cry every 1-2 hours, unable to sleep tight

If she's not fussing at the boob then shes getting enough. Waking 1-2 hours is quite normal. My baby was up every 1.5 hours for feeds during the day until 3mo. Even at 4 months it's still a 2 to 3 hours' interval. Keep latching and pumping, your supply will definitely go up

let her latch as much as possible. maybe can topup with ebm on bottle afterwards if she really cant be full from latching
