I wish I had some advice to give- mine went pretty smoothly from the get-go. Just make sure you start ASAP- there's a period of time when baby will be most alert and receptive to suckling, afterwards they get sleepy if I remember right (it's been 4 yrs so don't quote me on that!)
I'm sure you know the basics already (eg. lightly brushing her cheek will cause her to turn her head in that direction and open her mouth, etc?)
