When you want to breastfeed but your baby needs a supplementation giving this milk during breastfeeding is closest to exclusive breastfeeding. But how do you do this practically? The parent-information with many color photos describes tried and tested instructions for breastfeeding with the supplementary nursing system. Short reports from mothers help you to find out whether the SNS would make sense for you.

With the SNS, the baby receives milk from the breast and additional formula or pumped milk through a thin silicon tube. This encourages the baby to suck longer and more intensively at the breast. You save time, milk production will be stimulated and weight gain improved. So the SNS helps many nursing pairs to achieve a breakthrough and quite a few achieve exclusive breastfeeding again.

A hook is very practical when using the Supplementary Nursing System (SNS). With a hook, the container of the SNS can easily be attached and detatched from the neck cord – with one hand. Thereby, the cord must no longer be threaded in or out for each cleaning.  An other problem without hook is, that a container which has the neck cord threaded cannot stand alone. The eyelets of the hook can be bent upwards and, following the insertion of the cord, can be bent down again.
