Have you reached out to a lactation consultant, they would be able to best advise you on how to get the baby to latch. You can also try and getting a supplemental nursing system in which your daughter would still be feeding through the tube but you would run it down to your breast and you could try and get your daughter to latch onto your actual breast. Good luck!
