Try nipple shield for feeding, also check for lip or tongue tie maybe thats the reason why they don’t latch. But what does your baby do when she’s latching? Maybe watch a YouTube video about how to latch a baby sometimes you have to sit there for a few minutes before they get a good latch in

If you get a nipple sheild, be sure you are checking your nipple size first! It can cause pain or also not latch well if you use the wrong size.
And when checking for a tongue tie, you may need to really lift their tongue to see it.
But your best bet is to talk with a lactation consultant, as they can be real life savers for stuff like this if you are able to see one! And its okay to try out a few different ones if the one you see isnt helping. My baby had a tongue tie that we didn't catch for a while because the first consultant completely missed the tie

Sounds simple but, make sure you are also relaxed while trying to get your baby to latch. I was horribly anxious in the hospital and couldn’t get baby to latch, once we were home I was able to become more comfortable and relaxed and baby latched easier.
