Medela – Supplemental Nursing System

The Supplemental Nursing System (SNS) is a lactation aid that consists of a container filled with supplementary milk that is clipped securely to a bra strap, shirt or pillow. While the baby is latched at the breast or chest, a thin, flexible tube is placed alongside the nipple into the baby’s mouth and a controlled and consistent flow of milk is released as they feed. This innovative system helps with breastfeeding challenges, low milk supply, relactation, and helps non-gestational, trans and non-binary parents to breastfeed or chestfeed. The SNS is designed for home use as long as is necessary.

Medela’s Supplemental Nursing System (SNS) can be used by mothers and parents who want to feed at the breast or chest when they have low or no milk supply. It can also be used for babies needing extra support to maintain sucking over a full feed
SKIN-TO-SKIN BONDING: Supports the breastfeeding or chestfeeding experience and facilitates bonding and skin-to-skin contact between the mother, parent and baby, helping to calm and comfort
ADVANCED SYSTEM: Medela’s newly designed SNS includes a thin tube with rounded edges to gently deliver milk to baby. The advanced venting system ensures consistent milk flow and the unique TwistLok connector protects against leakage and milk loss
