A breastfeeding tube (supplemental nursing system / SNS) is a thin tube that allows the baby to receive the mother's own milk or supplemental formula while nursing from the breast. It's generally used in these situations:
- While working to increase milk supply so the baby stays satisfied and continues nursing
- With a baby who refuses the breast or nurses weakly, to maintain nursing habit
- When a lactation consultant recommends it due to poor weight gain or ineffective milk transfer
Important points: The tube tip must be placed right next to the nipple, touching the baby's upper palate without blocking it. Getting a one-on-one demonstration from a lactation consultant during first use is very important for proper positioning and flow rate. The tube must be sterilized or boiled after each use.
It may not work for every baby; I strongly recommend consulting a lactation consultant or pediatrician before deciding to use it.
