Here is a good place to try breast compression.  The baby pulls off
after five minutes, probably because the milk flow is slow.  Teach the
mother how to know the baby is getting milk (open-pause-close type of
suck).  When he begins flagging, use the compression, to keep him going.
When that no longer works, switch sides and repeat.

Should work.
