breastfeeding tips

My son is a week and 3 days,  and even in the hospital he would latch on my breast. We have tried many things in the hospital with a lactation nurse and she couldn't get him to latch on.  It's there any moms or there who have had problems breastfeeding who found a way that worked for them?  I currently have to pump, but i feel like if he would latch it would be alot easier.

my baby had the same problem, he couldn't latch good on my breast but would only latch on to a mam bottle! there's this thing called a nipple shield, you put it on your nipple and its kinda like a bottle nipple. you can get them at babies r us. after I used that for about a week he evuantally just went straight to breast
