Cathy, looks like you have great policies, standing orders etc already in
place. Of all the feeding methods, I would think finger feeding would be the
least one to cause aspiration, even less than bottle feeding. Suspect they
will find underlying causes for the newborn's problems, so try to wait for
added information.  Good Luck
