This was great to read about. I agree about conditioning. When my LLL co-leader had a newborn who wouldn't latch for 4 weeks, I said to her, "If you can teach a baby to nurse from a bottle, why can't you teach a baby to nurse from a breast?" Her son is now a fully breastfed baby thanks to her persistence (and a lot of help from Pat Gima.)
