Hi Valerie,
I have had great success at getting "difficult babies" to latch by suggesting to 
moms that they draw a nice warm bath, use soft lighting, play relaxing music 
and slowly get into the tub with their baby.  By placing the baby skin to skin in 
the relaxing warm water...it is interesting to see what happens! Sometimes 
this relaxes the baby enough to really enjoy the breastfeeding experience and 
the moms seem to achieve a faster MER. Who knows...it might really be a 
wonderful experience for both of them!
Good luck,
Marie Ivey, RN, BSN, CLC
