I also started a thread for this:
Yes I checked for cleft. She appears normal.
I just talked with vet and he thought it was possible that her tougne was swelled that she was not latching on well.
I got a little of moms milk into her along with a supplement of Pro-biolac replacer milk from the vet. She took that well.
Hopefully it will give her enough strenght to latch on soon.

Thanks for your help.
