Brief Answer:
Try relaxing and calming down
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Usually babies do take breastfeed without any issue. The reason for crying could be
1. Any oral issues in the baby mouth( needs examination)
2. Nipple and half of areola around Nipple should be inside baby mouth. If baby is given just the Nipple, he may cry as there won't be much milk output. For effective suckling, Nipple and half of areola should be inside baby mouth.
3. Try relaxing yourself. Calm down, don't panic. Feed in a dark room silent without any disturbance.
. 4 Take plenty of liquids for your hydration.
If still baby keeps crying, consult your Pediatrician.

she is drinking(5-10 mins) milk wen she is sleeping..will there still be an oral issue doc
Brief Answer:
Could be there
Detailed Answer:
We cannot say for sure that there is no oral issue without examination. Maybe in sleep, the pain is less initially, helping in feeding.
Try the methods I suggested, but do consult your Pediatrician as clinical examination only will confirm any issue in the baby
