Any ideas? Milk hasnt come in yet: prob be easier when it does and can "feel" it more? But want her to get the colostrum but worried she isnt getting it properly: has been having dirty nappies and a few wet ones only. She is a real hand sucker too so dont know if she is using me as a conforter too as theres no way she cud be feeding for 40mins... As she's so wee, dont want her losing much weight.

People with big boobies tend to have more success feeding sitting up in a comfy chair. Rugby position can be good. You can see what's going on better, and bubs has greater chance of oxygen
Don't worry about size of nips - bigger nips can actually make things easier. If she is having wet and dirty nappies then you're rockin and rolling missus - well done!!!!
If you are worried, you can squeeze an ickle bit out and give her it using a wee feeding syringe (same as the medicine ones really).
She probably isn't feeding for forty mins, but so long as you aren't sore, I wouldn't take her off. I'd take her off at an hour. Her on your breast for than length of time is ging to help the milk come in. Remember to tickle her toes and stroke her ears to keep her awake.
She will lose weight initially but so long as she starts to gain again don't worry hon. It's early days - heck it's early hours LOL and it sounds to me like you're on track!
