I, too, have what Carol Schlef has in her NICU. Yesterday I asked that a breastfeeding fullterm baby be cupfed if mom (who was in much pain) couldn't get to the nursery. I had helped her and baby was already having a hard time at the breast due to bottle nipples/no experience at breast. Today when I went back to help her it had been charted that "attempted to cup feed" and then it was charted that the "baby nippled very well with a yellow nipple". I was very discouraged as he now is also getting mad at the breast because her milk isn't in. I did have a neonatologist agree to Kangaroo care for a baby on CPAP whose mother is having a hard time with milk supply. I gueass that's a victory of sorts. Edie Armstrong, BSN, IBCLC
