The Medela Supplemental Nursing System (also known as the SNS or Supplement Nutrition System) enables women to breastfeed who would not otherwise be able to do so. It is a feeding tube device that is designed for weak or preterm babies, suckling training, stimulating breastmilk production, feeding adopted babies with breastmilk or long-term supplemental feeding. It can also be used for mothers and babies facing special challenges, such as inducing lactation or suckling problems.

The Supplemental Nursing System is hung around the neck and thin tubes are placed on top of the nipple. The baby cannot feel the tubes during feeding. Some babies with a weak or irregular suckling are not able to acquire enough nutrients through nursing. In these cases, the Supplemental Nursing System can help with supplemental feeding.

Nursing Angel Tips:

• The SNS works by a bottle hung around the mother's neck. Two tubes are taped to her breasts so that the ends reach her nipples. The tubes are very small and soft and unnoticed by the baby. When the baby takes the nipple and areola into his or her mouth, he/she also takes the tube. Breastfeeding proceeds normally, maintaining the stimulation to maintain lactation and the intimacy between mother and baby, as well as providing baby with important supplement from the SNS.
