aware of any
research regarding finger-feeding.
  I am interested in your opinions: is
fingerfeeding  controversial?
and should we proceed with caution until we more data to prove it's
safety?
Thank you in advance I look forward to any comments on this issue.

I think everything involving breastfeeding is controversial ! I dont
have any research studies on ff , but use it as a bridge to get from
point A to point B , no one method or gadget is right for every
baby/family....... I dont see any thing dangerous about it ? If baby
could feed by bottle he can ff, the milk flow from ff is slower than
bottle and less chance of choking..... just MHO (my humble opinion)
