I read your post after I sent mine - I guess great minds think alike :)

If half an hour of attempting to get a distressed baby to grasp the breast
and suckle does not work, I would change the strategy to ANYTHING that makes
the mother and baby happier to be in one another's company. The bathing
suggestion is one good idea, but you can't do that at every feed. I might
suggest waking the baby up with a bit of milk, served in whatever way baby
seems to prefer, and then spending time skin to skin, or just front to
front, as described on www.biologicalnurturing.com, offering more milk as
needed to keep baby contented, while they try to replace unpleasant
experiences with pleasant ones.
