I've tried to do it but she won't start sucking even when the nipple is in her mouth. What else do I need to do?

I'm not into baby wise but here's a summary-

I'm not sure we were ever able to do a proper dream feed...I ended up rousing her until she was drowsy but awake and then getting her to latch so then she could start to fall asleep again on the boob but continue sucking.

We were never able to do a real dreamfeed because Xander was such a light sleeper and would wake up.
But I read a tip that said to stick a pacifier or a finger into the baby's mouth to start their sucking reflex going and then try to latch them. Not sure if that will work or not, but might be worth a try.

Dreamfeed never worked for me. She would kind of wake up and go back down okay but still want to wake at her normal times.
