This is a real frustration for all of us, I believe.  It especially
hurts when you see
a bottle feeding baby that by it's actions is really "looking for a
breast" and you are 99% certain would be a real pro at nursing in no
time.  Then there's the mom who wants to nurse so desperately but faces
all kinds of challenges and we secretly suspect the baby would be able
to handle a bottle more easily (except, of course, for all those reasons
we know breastfeeding would be better in the long run).  It seems like a
"mismatch" not unlike the huge nipple that's comes with a tiny-mouthed
baby or the tiny, dainty nipple that comes with a baby that could handle
a baseball size nipple with ease!
This certainly is an interesting profession-never a dull moment!
