I know of a 9 month old fosterchild that took the fostermoms breast as if done never anything else during a therapeutic bath together.
Warmly,

Absolutely. Why would people think that babies would be born lacking
skills and abilities to survive?
Clinically, I've seen babies up to 5 weeks old start the delivery
self-attachment process after a long bout of s2s. Sometimes the baby has to tell
its story, with a triad of cathartic behaviors. I've not seen the
self-attachment behaviors in babies older than that, but perhaps that is because by 6
weeks of age, moms haven't come to me requesting help with latch?
I've seen parts of the self-attachment sequence in older infants, who
may turn their head toward the breast when held in arms, but they don't go any
further than that in the process.
warmly,
