I'd like to ask your collective wisdom and input on the amount of time it
takes to cup feed, finger feed, eye dropper feed, syringe feed and/or spoon
feed a newborn or neonate.  It is not easy to find much research or
documentation regarding these methods. Have been having a discussion with a
friend who is interested in these alternative feeding methods - she is writing
protocols; has lots of experience with the SNS and is interested in these
other feeding methods. Please share your experiences with me either at this
address or at [log in to unmask] or post to Lactnet. I think this will begin an
interesting discussion.
