A. it is very important to see whether the child is able to suck properly or not and that will be seen by the pediatrician when the pediatrician will see the sucking reflex in the child. also if there is any local pathology in the oral cavity has to be examined by the doctor. also it is advisable to meet a lactation expert who will tell you about proper position and attachment while breastfeeding because that is also important for sucking

A. first of all get the weight of the child and if the weight of the child is proper do not worry about it and you have to first of a breastfeeding followed by formula milk only if the child is crying for milk

A. Since You are actually giving both the feelings of the child and I believe your child is more comfortable having it with bottle because sucking from a bottle is much more easier for a child and sucking over a breast which is why maybe your child is exhausted and tired after 10 minutes which is why your child cries and behave like this so for the time being do not give formula feeding just stick to breastfeeding at least for a day or two and then see if there is a difference
