I'd try a sippy cup like this

Try a dark room with no distractions and get your baby nice a cuddled up then try... Failing that try rocking whilst feeding

None of this may help but it's worth a try. Bf babies are stubborn little humans.

Contact your health visitor who might be able to put you in touch with an infant feeding specialist.

Sippy cup with straw mine preferred (bf)
