Question I made it here - and have an issue already!

So we've been breastfeeding pretty well so far the last 3 days and my milk came in yesterday so that's good. But here's my problem...Naomi's mouth is so little and she doesn't open it wide enough to get a correct latch that doesn't give me blisters! She does latch on and has a strong suck, but I can't get her to open up enough that it doesn't pinch me! OUCH! I've tried stroking her cheek or catching her in a yawn, but it hasn't helped....any suggestions cause I am raw!!
