 Yesterday I saw a mother with very sore nipples.  The baby is 10 weeks
 old.  On digital exam (without any milk) I felt chomping and biting.  She
 didn't draw in my finger at all.  >>

Sarah, in these situations, I find that the nursing supplementer works very
well, as long as the baby is able to latch.  Another thing you might try is
using a dropper, or syringe (which I don't use, because they frighten me!) at
the corner of the baby's mouth and see if the flow encourages the baby to
draw the finger in.  How is the mother's milk supply?  If it is low, that may
account for the biting and lack of suction.
