I suspect the difference is using the SNS on the finger first so they are used
to that little tube up against their palates.  Then when you put the SNS on
the breast, it isn't a problem.  I've had 4 month olds refuse the SNS on the
breast if the breast is all they have had, but i can imagine they would take
it if conditioned to fingerfeeding first.
