Thinking about EP

I have a 3 week old, breastfeeding started off rough, I had cracked bleeding nipples, lots of pain, they're still healing. Baby is super sleepy which I am thankful for, but so sleepy I have to wake baby to eat every time. Then falls asleep at the breast and its super frustrating. Weight gain is slow but baby reached birth weight, however I am going in for a weight check in a few days. This is my second baby and my breasts are bigger this time. My biggest issues is a sleepy eater and taking so long to eat. Anyone have a sleepy eater and bottles went better for you? I have been super stressed and anxious about this and trying to keep my baby awake to eat or not even wanting to wake since they will fall asleep anyhow. Any advice or similar experience would help!
