There are tinies that MAY have problem latching on ... and other tinies that are just born tiny because that's all the room the had in the womb to grow.... never having a problem nursing.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Very Much for your response.

I kind of thought that problems latching on was NOT due to size, but still wanted to hear from some with that type of experiance. I'm glad that all of your babies are doing well

Anyone else? Would love to hear other's experiances or thoughts....
