Feeding Bottle Medela 101043649 150 ml Transparent

The Supplemental Nursing System (SNS) is a lactation aid designed to support breastfeeding/chestfeeding by delivering supplementary milk to an infant while they feed at the breast or chest. The system increases opportunities for direct feeding and helps maintain latch and oral stimulation during supplemental feeds.

Advantages

The SNS provides a controlled, consistent flow of supplementary milk while the baby is latched, supporting milk transfer and encouraging breastfeeding/chestfeeding. It is secured to clothing or a pillow for hands-free use and uses a thin, flexible tube placed alongside the nipple to deliver milk directly into the baby's mouth. The device is suitable for short-term or longer-term use depending on individual feeding goals and can assist with relactation, low milk supply, or supplementing expressed milk.

Key specifications

• Type: Supplemental Nursing System (lactation aid)
• Delivery method: Thin flexible tube positioned alongside nipple
• Attachment: Clip to bra strap, shirt, or secure to a pillow
• Contents: Container for supplementary milk
• Use: For feeding at the breast/chest while baby is latched

How to use

Fill the container with supplementary milk and secure it to a bra strap, shirt or pillow. Place the baby to latch at the breast/chest as usual and position the thin flexible tube alongside the nipple so it reaches the baby's mouth. Ensure a gentle, consistent flow of milk through the tube as the infant feeds. Monitor the baby’s latch and swallowing, and adjust tube position or flow as needed for comfortable, effective feeding.

Recommendations

Use under guidance from a lactation consultant or healthcare professional if you are unsure about positioning, flow rate, or suitability. Clean and sterilize components according to manufacturer instructions and inspect the tubing and container regularly for wear.
