Here is another example of a baby who eventually latches on, for those who
don't believe.  This baby was incredibly tough.  Wouldn't latch no matter
what.  After a few visits *I* was able to latch him on, but the mother
couldn't.  Finally, yesterday, I got this email.  Maintain a good milk
supply, and the baby will usually latch on between 4 and 8 weeks of age.

"I just wanted to let you know that my daughter Renee hasn't had a bottle in
3 weeks.  She is 11 weeks old and a healthy 11 pounds.  She pretty much
caught on to breastfeeding after 7 weeks.  It was a gruelling first few
months but definitely worth it.  Thank you for your advice and support.  You
gave me the confidence to keep trying."
