Pam it may be in the archives (no time to check) but the
little tricks I use are getting the pair as comfortable as 
possible, asking mom to drop her shoulders and breathe
(sometimes she is holding on to baby so very tightly), deep
slow breathing usually works best, helping her achieve
optimal assymetric latch and sometimes helping  mom to
do some suck training before helping  with latch. These
little tight mouthed babes will often relax after mom relaxes,
or after the let down when milk is flowing well and they are
not so anxious. Most seem to do well with tincture of time.
though 8 weeks does seem a long time already.
CST may also be a good option if nothing else is working.
