Hey, my son is 3 months now.. We too had the similar issue.. Try to feed him at the time when he is not crancky or craving for feed. Gradually the child will learn. Also what's important is the correct posture. You may read about the correct ways of feeding on internet for better understanding. The only key here is keep trying..

Help baby to latch properly. Correct feeding posture & keep patience. Don't stop feeding.

I too have the same problem. I have 6 months baby. My daughter faced difficulties in latching. Initially I used nipple shiled, then I used to express the milk and feed her for almost 1 month. Then I tried to feed her directly. She s comfortable nw. So don't lose hope. Keep on trying to feed her. Surely your baby will pick up.. Don't worry.. Cool!!
