May seem like a stupid question but I guess I'm just curious to people's opinions.

DS was a great sucker, however his attachment was super bad, and with no help or support I turned to formula really early. If I had of had support (or the right help) I may have been successful breastfeeding him because he had such a good strong suck.

DD1 had an uncoordinated suck. It was so bad that the midwife couldn't even get her to take a bottle properly, without most of it spilling everywhere, she just couldn't seem to get her tongue in the right place and suck at the right time. I didn't try to breastfeed her, and I'm glad I didn't, otherwise I would have gone crazy. Even my SIL told me (who did successfully bfeed her kids) that she was really bad at sucking and I should be grateful that I didn't try because it would have just been a disaster.. lol

DD2 never put her lips in the correct position, and therefore never drained the breast, leading to low supply - which I didn't know could happen, I used nipple shields for the pain because she never put her lower lip out properly, and didn't until she was over 7 months - even with months of training with a dummy and the bottle teat, she still took 7 months to get her lips in the right position.

Now I've been told I'm having another girl, and I'm worried that the same thing is going to happen. I wanted to successfully breastfeed this one, and I was hoping it would be a boy (but don't want to get into that here) and now I'm concerned that since its a girl - will it have the same problems sucking as the other two? Or is it just a coincidence that both of them were a bit spaz at feeding?
