Also, I have  heard there is no "real" evidence to support finger feeding -
just  anecdotal evidence; therefore, no finger feeding either. Besides,  the
nursery RNs will probably do it like they use bottles: shove it in.  They
don't have time to wait for baby to make up his mind. They have 6-8  babies
to feed, etc.


Dear Friends:
    Are there any good studies about finger feeding? Is  there any evidence 
that it is effective in helping babies breastfeed?
    warmly,
