Part of the population of babies with organic, psychic and oral function favorable to breastfeeding may present initial difficulties in breastfeeding and / or disorders in the sucking pattern and reflect on oral motor development. Therefore, techniques used in cases of oral dysfunction in the baby should be considered a favorable resource for the management of breastfeeding.

It is characterized as a methodological, qualitative, exploratory study of a descriptive character. For the preparation of the guide, a bibliographic survey of articles indexed in the Public Medline databases (PubMed), in the Virtual Library Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and main literature referring to the theme of breastfeeding about the technique of oral stimulation in newborns was carried out. born, as well as the aspects that contribute to the use of the resource in healthy and full-term babies. The production of this material was divided into four phases. In the first stage, the outline of the theme, study; and bibliographic survey. In the second stage, a workshop was developed on the alternative method of complementing term and healthy newborns by using the finger-probe technique, given to professional nurses, nursing technicians and multidisciplinary residents in Maternal and Child Health EMCM / UFRN in the sector motherhood. The third stage consisted of producing a guide on the use of the finger-feeding technique in term and healthy newborns with atypical oral disorders and breastfeeding procedures.
