To get the boy nursing, have you tried putting some supplement on the nipple first, or a little karo syrup, or a little of your saliva? He needs to nurse at least a little if he can before supplementing.
I struggled for several days with my little boy and had to feed round the clock. I finally got so I weighed him on a digital scale before and after feeding just to see if there was any difference. If there wasn't I tried to give him a little more...although he frequently refused more food. I also gave him Nutri-Drops every night, and every morning (just one drop) if he hadn't gained weight. Finally, he started gaining every day. Good luck and keep posting.
