Hello, I am a hospital based I.B.C.L.C at a community hospital(700 deliveries/ year) with 25 years experience. I am interested to know how other hospitals are offering supplements to there infants. We use cup feeding, fingerfeeding, gavage and of course the usual Ross nipple. Our patient population is changing to care for infants as early as 34-35 weeks gestation. I am getting more and more opposition to the alternative methods with more and more bottles being given. Please help!
