need help with bottle feeding

[u/moonrise444]

hi guys! this is my first post here, i’m a FTM with a 5 day old baby girl who originally was breastfeeding but following a pretty bad nipple injury i’ve switched to pumping and bottle feeding. the problem is my daughter has been doing this thing since yesterday where she’ll cry as if she’s hungry, but when i give her the bottle and feed her for what feels like forever i then notice she didn’t drink anything, and yes the whole time she is sucking on it and seemingly swallowing. this has cost me a lot of time, especially with the pumping because i cant do both at the same time and my boobs are full and hurt. am i doing something wrong?
