If you google National Association of Neonatal Nurses cupfeeding you get to 
their postion paper on cup and finger feeding which essentially says there 
is insufficient evidence to support or refute both practices.  Also states 
that units may implement these methods with documented monitoring of 
outcomes (ie do research!)  I've paraphrased here but think I've caught the 
essence so it sounds like your boss didn't get the whole story...google is 
great tool...
