We carried out a survey, using a questionnaire, on the approaches being taken by nursery schools to infants' finger-feeding and on nursery school teachers' perspective on the importance of finger-feeding and related factors, in order to obtain basic materials which would assist in the promotion of infants' finger-feeding at nursery schools. The survey targeted nursery school teachers working at 1,627 nursery schools in Tokyo and the response rate was 37.1％.  Approximately 95％ of the responding nursery schools are actively promoting finger-feeding. Nursery schools taking proactive approaches are encouraging cooperation among nursery school staff and are also actively providing assistance to infants' families.  Many of the nursery school teachers report that infants active in finger-feeding later become highly-motivated towards eating. The survey suggests that factors relating to finger-feeding include infants' interest in eating, how they are fed at home, forms of meals and infants' individual likes and dislikes.  From the above, we are of the opinion that in order to promote infants' finger-feeding at nursery schools it is critical that cooperation among nursery school staff be encouraged, that infants' interest in eating be fostered, and that cooking staff-including nationally-certified and other nutritionists-provide meals in forms which facilitate finger-feeding. Furthermore, we believe it is necessary for nursery schools to communicate the importance of finger-feeding to infants' families so that an environment at home can be developed where infants' finger-feeding is accelerated.
