I remember one blind mom who used a variation of the Dancer hold so she had contact with both the baby's chin and her breast to guide the baby in latching on. You might check with LLL as they have moms they can refer to who have dealt with the less common situations. As I remember, there was at least one blind Leader for a number of years.
