Is it possible for a baby to eventually develop a good latch? My baby is almost 2 weeks old and from the time of birth she wouldn't suck when she latched. She has a really small mouth she was barely 6 pound when born and was born 2 weeks early. I tried everything between shields and the shells (my nipples are pretty flat unless I pump or they are stimulated) and I was so frustrated I just cried for days because I couldn't give her what I knew she wanted. The nurses were no help because there was no lactation consultant on staff my whole hospital stay. So now I'm exclusively pumping but still bringing her to my breast when she is calm trying to get her to latch. But we're still having some
Issues. I'm hoping there's still a chance.

Have you tried looking for a lactation consultant in your area? If you haven't you could they could probably give you good pointers even now to try to help her latch.

I have them and wore them everyday all day for a week and she still won't. Her mouth is so small she just has a tough time. -_- I'm holding when she's a little bigger she'll figure it out. We won't give up in the mean time. Just frustrating when I've wanted to breast feed so badly and it doesn't work out right away @logansmommy214

Go buy breast shields. My sister used them and they worked great. I'm gonna use them if I run into a issue with breastfeeding.
