Products: Specialty Feeding Devices



Haberman (TM) Feeder
In cases where babies have severe feeding problems, such as with Down Syndrome, cleft lip/palate, neurological disfunction, disorganized sucking symptoms and others, the Haberman Feeder offers an alternative to other feeding methods.. The Haberman Feeder is so effective and easy to use that it can actually change feeding sessions from a difficult experience into a pleasurable activity for the mother and baby. A specially designed valve and teat adjust milk flow to suit baby's needs. A one-way valve prevents flooding and overwhelming the baby. If the baby cannot nurse at all, or just needs a little help, the bottle can be squeezed to release a limited volume of milk. 80ml bottle $21.60 plus shipping

Supplemental Nursing System
Medela's Supplemental Nursing System (SNS) is a feeding tube device for giving premature, failure to thrive, impaired or adopted babies long-term supplemental feedings at the breast. Because it keeps the baby on the breast, the SNS avoids problems with sustaining the milk supply, and problems with nipple confusion for the baby.
The SNS was originally designed to help adoptive mothers breastfeed. When a baby sucks on the mother's breast for a period of days or weeks, a hormonal mechanism is triggered that causes milk to be produced. This is known as induced lactation.
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. $44.65 plus shipping

Starter Supplemental Nursing System
The Starter Supplemental Nursing System (SNS) was created as an economical, short-term-use supplemental feeding device. The Starter uses a one-piece collar, teat and tubing hung around the mother's neck with small, soft tubes attached to the nipples. Like the SNS, the Starter SNS keeps the baby on the breast and provides supplementation. $14.95 plus shipping

Soft Feeder
Medela's SoftFeeder is a specialty feeding device for infants, designed for use when health care professionals recommend cup feeding. Among babies who have breastfeeding difficulties, cups have been shown to improve the chances for subsequent successful breastfeeding. The SoftFeeder allows the baby to be fed without developing nipple confusion or preference until the transition to breastfeeding can be made. Unlike a regular cup, the Medela SoftFeeder has a control valve and self-refilling reservoir, which help maintain a steady supply of just the right amount of breast milk at the lip of the cup. Made of soft, pliable pure silicone, the feeder is contoured to fit even the smallest mouth. $24.95 plus shipping
