Hi Jennifer You were asking about cup feeding and prems. I attended the ILCA conference this summer and really enjoyed the talk by Sandra Lang. You could purchase her tape or video from ILCA it is well worth it. Sandra is from England and has done research on cup feeding and has established that the practice protects breastfeeding for prems. She has also written a coupld of articles: Lang, S. Cup-feeding: An alternative method. Midwives Chronicle, Vol 107, 1276:171-176, 1994 Lang, S., Lawrence, CJ. L'E Orme R., Cup Feeding: An alternative method of infant feeding. Archives of childhood diseases 1994 365-369. Hope you find this helpful Susan Moxley IBCLC Ottawa, Canada [log in to unmask] > >
