From what I remember the idea of glucose as pain relief during circumcisoin is to use drops of D50 not D5, dropper or sponge is a possible way to give it. What effects it would have on breastfeeding I dont know. I havent used it but instead use a dorsal nerve block/ring block with warmed lidocaine and wrap the baby's arms in a blanet instead of straping them down, I did use a pacifier dipped in D5 today to quiet/calm a baby for a circ. yes he was bottle/abm fed.
