This is a very frustrating situation for mothers.  It could be that her milk 
is not letting down so quickly and baby is frustrated, sucking and not 
getting anything.  In this situation I suggest expressing a little by hand 
before putting baby to breast so that he gets those first drops instantly 
and may calm down.  Another idea is to give him a few drops on a spoon and 
as he relaxes to take that then immediately put him to the breast. 
Obviously position needs to be checked, is baby placed comfortably, not too 
high, not too low so that when he finally latches on he gets the milk.
