Spoon feeding your newborn?

Has anyone else heard of spoon feeding your newborn? In my area we have an amazing lactation consultant and she has introduced spoon feeding to our Mommy and Me group! Basically after every breastfeeding session with your newborn you will express a few drops of colostrum onto a spoon then feed it to your baby, while he/she is in an upright postion. You do this with each breast usually for about 5 days. Studies show a lower jaundice rate, milk comes in faster, higher milk supply, and babies regain their birth weight quicker. A few mommies in our group have tried this and for the most part all has been true! I'm definitely going to be trying it!
