007 Finger-Feeding As Another Way to Nurse Your Baby

Hearing from Bridget and her husband Shawn will blow you away.  This incredible couple shares their touching journey through a cancer diagnosis during pregnancy, cancer treatments that did not allow mom to breastfeed, and a baby who would not accept his wet nurses or a bottle, Together this mother, father and baby discovered a solution that helped heal them all. Finger-feeding ended up not only being a way for this couple to nourish their baby, but a way to nurse their baby when traditional nursing was not available.  No milk production required.  No breasts required.  Just a finger, a feeding device, and love.
