Hi all,
I have a question about finger feeding.  Is there a good reason for the
finger to always be inserted pad up?  Have you worked with any parents or
anyone who prefers pad side down and touching the tongue instead of the hard
palate?  With the pad side up and touching the hard palate are we giving the
baby a  'super stimulus' that is similar to a bottle nipple?
TIA for any answers on this.
