Details

The Medela Supplemental Nursing System (SNS also known as Lactaid) is for long term supplemental feedings at the breast.

Keeps the baby on the breast, ensuring the stimulation to maintain lactation and the intimacy between mother and baby, while also providing additional food source via the tube.

Particularly well-suited to provide babies with breastmilk or supplement at the breast, e.g. for premature babies, babies with sucking difficulties, adopted babies, children with cleft lip/palate or for re-lactation after a break in breastfeeding.

The Supplemental Nursing System consists of a container filled with supplementary milk that is clipped securely to a bra strap, shirt, or pillow. Whilst the baby is latched at the breast/chest, a thin, flexible tube is placed alongside the nipple into the baby's mouth and a controlled and consistent flow of milk is released as they feed.

By increasing the opportunity to feed at the breast/chest, the Supplemental Nursing System facilitates bonding and skin-to-skin contact promotes milk supply by stimulating the breast through sustained sucking. Supports non-lactating parents to create a breastfeeding/chestfeeding experience.

Good Product - Takes A Little Practice

Good product - helped my wife and child bridge the gap when my wife's milk came in late. It meant we could supplement the feeds with formula while supply increased. It does take practice though, so be prepared to put in some work.

We had an issue with the feed tube screw, but Medela sent a replacement out the same day, which Breastmates helped arrange.

Less one star as Medela don't sell parts individually for this (the lines) as they did for their prior model, but still a good product.

Helpful

We were finger feeding the twins with syringes formula and EBM while we were waiting for breast feeding to be established. Lactation consultant recommended the SNS, started feeding them at the breast with the SNS hooked up with EBM. Helped the smaller one latch better as they were rewarded faster at the breast. Can be a bit tricky, especially if like me you are juggling nipple shields! But once you get the hang of it it's much simpler than syringes.

Grateful for your help franny

I just wanted to reach out and say your site was invaluable for me to keep breastfeeding. You were (maybe still are) the only site in NZ stocking the SNS and replacement tubes. Without this product my breastfeeding journey would have been so different and not such a success. So thank you from the bottom of mine and my 13 month old (who is still breastfeeding) heart.

Medela Supplemental Nutrition System

Been using it for a while now as we trying to get baby back onto breastfeeding. This has been amazing to be able to feed like this with breast milk in the feeder or formula. So far i have been able to feed a few times without. So any mums out there having a hard time with feeding or supply try this out.

Loving this product!!

My breastfeeding journey was difficult and ended earlier than I wanted with my first baby. With my second baby, I prepared myself for difficulties and bought this product to assist... My baby is 5 days old and this has been a lifesaver while my supply establishes. If I didn't the SNS to supplement, I would have had to move to bottle feeding early on (which is not something I have a problem with expect first baby developed bottle preference at 12 weeks and started refusing breast). My LO is loving having all feeds at the breast, for nutrition or comfort, and doesn't notice the tubing at all. I'm still not sure if I will be able to EBF or not but it is not longer an all or nothing goal and my only goal is keeping bub interested in the breast for now which this is helping to succeed amazingly at. I'm so grateful I found it and wish I had with my first.

Breastfeed your way through low supply

This helped save my breastfeeding journey. It’s the best way to feed top ups to your Bub if you have a low supply like me. It keeps Bub sucking effectively at your breast therefore stimulating your supply. I fed donor milk topups using this and was able to stop pumping. My supply has improved (to be fair I’m trying everything else too) and I’m now looking at reducing the topups. The tubes are nice and small, Bub doesn’t seem to notice them. It’s a little bit fiddly but probably not as bad as you might expect, and for me it’s preferred to pumping and bottle feeding.

Great device

This device has helped me continue breastfeeding whilst supplementing with formula. If we had used bottles full time our journey breastfeeding would have ended.
Fantastic service with quick delivery in lockdown!! Gave me peace of mind with a newborn in lockdown, thank you

Great fast service. Ordered extra parts for my medela lactaid on Wednesday and received Thursday. Just used for the first time with this baby and is already making having to mix feed a much better experience. Thanks
