Cathy: I think that the aspiration needs further investigation: in
using fingerfeeding for almost 10 years, I have not seen a problem. The
nurses do this in our unit and teach parents how to do it. Some moms go
home fingerfeeding. Keep your wits and try to present support ot the
nurse . How did she fingerfeed? Why have bottles been allowed so long
because they have caused aspiration? Fingerfeeding is published in
several professional books. Good luck. Helen Curless,RN,IBCLC
