Reviews
Supplemental Nursing System™ (SNS) | Medela 4.5 out of 5 based on 4 votes.
26 years ago I used this product to nurse my adopted daughter. It worked very well. She was satisfied. I was satisfied. I felt confident in public as it was concealed easily under clothing. After 10 weeks of on-demand nursing, I began producing my own milk supply and the word 'Supplemental' took on a whole new meaning! Happy to see it is still available.

When u have a low supply like myself, u try everything from nursing supplementers, to herbs, to hand expressing in between feedings to sleeping with baby day n night. This is a real life saver or should i say "milk saver". I used this all the time and its concealed under a nursing cover too.

With my first child this was what helped my supply come back and I was able to just breastfeed again! An amazing product!

Let's face it, no one wants to use a SNS. But we do it for various reasons. Mine was because I've had a breast reduction and couldn't produce enough milk initially to meet my son's needs. The pediatrician had me offer one half ounce of formula at every feeding. There is the first problem. You will need to untether the cord from around your neck if you are trying to offer a low volume of supplement. I spent the second galf od each feed holding the bottle up to drain the formula completely. Second. It leaks. Badly! If the cap is too tight, too loose, or the wind is blowing from the east you will end up covered in supplement. My recommendation is you hold it upside down 3 times times to check for leaks before using it. Then you'll still want a towel under it. Cleaning it is not easy. The neck of the bottle is too tight to get a brush in there so you just end up shaking hot, soapy water in it. That said, this is vastly better than the starter SNS, so if you need to supplement more than a few days I'd invest in this one.
