When I worked in a hospital, I used to use Dr. Jane's Morton video (I  cannot recall the name) which is directed mostly to health professionals.  It shows the mother expressing directly onto the spoon and then feeding it to the baby.

In our  hospital we have been giving small amounts of colostrum to 
babies 
with a spoon  especially if babies are too sleepy during the 1st 24 
hours.  All 
of a  sudden there has been some questions arise about using a spoon 
for  
feedings.  Does anyone have a policy or know of any documentation about  
giving 
colostum with a spoon.  I have checked the archives and mostly got  
just 
anecdotal information.  



Give me a break!
    Ask for their policies on bottle-feeding.
    There won't be any.
    So then make a policy committee, full of bf  advocates!
    warmly,
