Position yourself and baby in a proper finger
feeding position, such as shown in the drawing.
Placing a pillow under baby will make feeding
more comfortable for both of you, by raising baby
to chest height.
Keep your shoulders and elbows down and
relaxed to reduce muscle strain.
Gently tickle baby’s lips in a vertical direction
(from chin to nose and back) with the tip of the
finger of the hand holding the FingerFeeder.
Keep tickling until baby opens mouth wide.
When baby opens wide, quickly and gently insert
your finger into baby’s mouth, finger pad facing
up. Rest your finger pad on the hard palate just behind the upper gum.
As baby sucks, gradually move your finger back to the juncture of the hard and soft palate. While
moving the finger back, keep the pad in contact with the hard palate. Keep your finger pad resting
up against the hard palate during the entire feed. (If your finger goes too far back or drops down on
baby’s tongue, baby may gag.)
Keep your finger in the same position and stationary. Do not apply pressure to baby’s palate or
tongue, or move your finger in and out of baby’s mouth during the feed, unless specifically directed
to do so by your health professional.
There is usually no need to squeeze the Bulb unless your health care provider has given you
specific instructions to do so. Allow baby to set the pace – just let the Bulb rest in your hand. Never
squeeze the FingerFeeder hard enough to cause milk to leak out of the baby’s mouth, or cause
baby to gag, cough or sputter.
