dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Although it is known that the ideal way of feeding babies with breast milk is from the breast, some babies face challenges in breastfeeding. In these cases, the use of alternative feeding methods such as cup feeding, supplementary feeding system and finger feeding instead of bottles helps to ensure the continuity of breastfeeding. In this paper, two cases fed with finger feeding are presented. Case presentation: The first case: A 35-week-old preterm baby was brought to a hospital with the complaint of not sucking when she was 5 days old. The baby, who was born by cesarean section and whose physical examination was unremarkable, was fed with bottle-fed milk and formula. The mother was recommended to have skin-to-skin contact, pumping every three hours, and feed the child with finger feeding. The baby, who was finger fed for five months, started to suckling at night. The baby, who was fully breastfed at 6 months of age, continued to receive breast milk with complementary feeding until 27 months of age. The second case: Term infant that was admitted on postpartum day three due to failure of sucking. His physical examination showed no pathological findings other than lip and tongue-tie. At four-months postpartum, the infant was operated on for tongue-tie and was finger-fed for a total of nine months. The mother of the baby, who still did not start to breastfeed, decided to continue with the bottle. The baby was fed with breast milk for a total of twenty months. Conclusion: Finger feeding is one of the alternative methods in relactation. When alternative feeding methods are necessary, it will be helpful in breastfeeding for mothers to be informed about finger feeding by health professionals.
