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.
