Baby crying and unlatching during breastfeeding

I am a FTM and my baby is 7 weeks old. She has been crying and unlatching during couple of feeds during the day and refuses to be breastfed. I am currently combo feeding with first at breast and then top up of formula. I have had supply issues in the past and currently on domperidone. I can see that there’s milk when I hand espress and seem to squirt as well when I squeeze. I am at my wits end as I am unable to make breastfeeding work and have tried all positions so far. I am looking to switch to EBF and hence hesitant to rely further on formula top ups. I have regular consultations with my LC and next one is almost 2 weeks away. Really concerned with the way things are at and worry that my baby is not getting enough or supply may drop. Baby’s wet nappies and progress is fine so far. Appreciate any guidance, tips or experiences that you may have to make BF work when baby refuses to nurse.
