Hello 

I have looked into the archives, to see if there is any information about when to introduce a alternative feeding method.

On the postnatal where I work as an LC there seems to be a trend to use a "Lactaid" for just about every conceivable challenge from day one up to day 5 , and I am concerned that we are not actually dealing with the challenges appropriately more  going for the quick fix approach

Does anyone have evidence based research that supports when to introduce a alternative feeding method. ie  syringe,cup, lactaid and on what day

Many thanks for reading my post

Kind Regards
