Has anyone tried the technique described by Dee Kassing, IBCLC, in the Feb.
2002 Jnl. of Human Lactation, p. 56?  At our hospital, we are excited about
it's possibilities. There are so many controversies around syringe feeding
and cup feeding, but another big issue for us is that the nurses
can't/aren't allowed to use those techniques.  Also, Kassing has a valid
point when she states that mothers may feel overwhelmed when faced with
unfamiliar alternative feeding equipment and are more likely to be
compliant when they can use a familiar item.  I am especially interested to
know if it has been applied in a hospital setting and how the policy and
procedure was created.
