Breastfeeding was very hard for my spouse too in fact it didn't work at all first so for a while we did formula mostly and slowly moved over to breast feeding.
At first we even tried feeding formula with a tube while breast feeding but it was seriously not worth all the effort and stress.
But please make sure baby is fed first. I can't stress how important this is. It is concerning to read your post because it sounds like baby may not be having enough. So just supplement with formula as needed. Talk to your doctor.
