I have no experience nursing a newborn - Ava wouldn't latch until she was 8 weeks old. She had a tongue thrust problem and after several visits with LCs noone could get her to latch properly so I pumped full time until she finally learned to latch at 8 weeks old. I pumped the whole time and bottle fed her until then. Then she nursed successfully until I weaned her at 18 months.

I just wanted to say good luck to you and if you really, really want to bf then don't give up!
