annelies asks about finger feeding...
yes, wear a glove unless you are the mother.  Unless the mother can come
for all feedings, a health care professional will have to do some
feeding and
yes, I think babies are quite likely to get "hooked" on fingerfeeding.
I don't believe it to be the great answer that some others do and think
it needs to be used only when warranted (ie. uncoordinated suck, unable
to cup feed, to help babies feed orally when are aversive..)
