Finger feeding is a technique that can help to avoid nipple confusion when your baby doesn't want to latch on and nurse. It is an alternative to using a bottle.
Similar to using a supplemental nursing system, with finger feeding, you simply insert a lactation aid and your finger into your baby's mouth so that your baby sucks on your finger and gets a supplement through the lactation aid. A syringe attached to the other end of the lactation aid can help to push the supplement into your baby's mouth. A lactation consultant can help you with this technique
