But if you place a baby in the rough area (the boobs) they can manoeuvre themselves to the correct area.

This is long before any motor skills. It's a primal instinct. Like holding their breath when submerged or grasping things placed in their hands.

Not even that, a newborn is able to crawl to the breast and start latching immediately after birth.
