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.
