Title: Only way I can get my baby to supplement
Review: My breastfed 6 month old stopped gaining weight, so I started trying to introduce bottles. Iâve tried every different bottle nipple I can find, and he just wonât take it. I finally tried this SNS system and at first he was popes to having this little hair-like tube in his mouth but after a day of figuring out how to stick it in his mouth while nursing, he became indifferent to it, then I added in some formula as he was nursing and HE TOOK IT! I was so excited! He has since consistently been able to empty whatever Iâve put into the silicone bottle, and the flow control is what makes it work. At first, I left the flow controller all the way open, and he hated it and would keep pulling away, but once I figured out what the right flow rate was, he was content to nurse and receive formula through the tube at the same time.One thing that helped a lot was to mix formula into some pumped breast milk in order to slowly introduce him to the different flavor of milk. Now I can do straight formula while he nursed and he doesnât even mind.Cleaning the tube is a bit awkward, but right after Iâm done using it, I put hot soapy water into the bottle and squeeze the bottle to squirt it out of the tube for a couple of minutes, then I rinse everything and repeat again with clean hot water. I donât want milk to have time to dry in the tube before the next use.The tape that comes with it was not very impressive, but thereâs a little magnet tether that has been super helpful to clip it right to my shirt and hang the tube between my breasts so it doesnât keep falling as Iâm focusing on keeping the flow the right amount with the little flow adjuster.

Title: Okay Depending on Goals
Review: This was flop for me. My baby won't stay latched after the initial letdown, so I use a SNS to keep baby at breast and milk supply maintained. With the Medela SNS I'm able to keep a ample milk supply with a total of 15-20 minute feed(8 minutes of pre-tube time, then additional 8-10 minutes). This is necessary because anything less my milk supply tanks and baby stays latched even less. So the cons for the product above:1. The tube is to large, I can barely feel baby latched on to my breast and not just the tube which is preventing baby from actually stimulating my own breast for milk. With the tube being to large, also causes milk to flow very quickly, not only did it cause baby to choke alot but my TOTAL nursing time dropped time 9-10 minutes, which is very bad in our case.2. Speaking of milk flow, the flow controller is absolutely worthless. It has 3 "speeds" Fast, Sludge, Nothing". If I try to roll it even a bit, it causes the milk to jam and myself or the baby can barely squeeze it through the tube anything less and it's flowing quickly again.3. The tube is very short, making it rather difficult to find a place to nurse baby and for the bottle to sit.Now, there are some Pros.1. I bought this specifically hoping the tube would be bigger(and then I could continue using the flow controller for continued use) and allow thickened formula to flow through that I needed to use temporarily., and I'm certain this would of worked just fine for that. So if you need a tube that is larger and quicker flowing this is perfect.2. The tube is thick and sturdy, while this caused some cons for me, it was also the most secure of any tubing I've used and didn't move around a lot.3. Once I found a place to sit that worked with the shorter tube, this was the most hassle free SNS system I've used. Nothing dangling from my neck or unclipping from my shirt. The baby stayed distraction free and wasn't grabbing and pulling at the tube/bottle. So honestly the design here was really great.So ya, I'll be switching back to Medela because this doesn't meet my purpose(keeping baby at breast longer) but overall it's not a bad SNS if your goal is just get baby feeding at the breast.

Title: Not adequate for older babies
Review: This just passed off my son. I was hoping to use this system to up my milk supply, but it was a total waste of money. The "straw" that goes near your nipple is irritating to the baby if they are established in breastfeeding. Next, the length of the tubing from the bottle to your breast is INCREDIBLY short. Just need a lot more thought behind this... maybe by a mom who has ticked this with their baby?

Title: Just give it a chance!
Review: Iâm surprised it only has 3.9 star reviews.. kind of pricy in my opinion but Iâm so glad I tried it.My journey.My baby off the bat had jaundice and after a couple weeks of breastfeeding he wasnât gaining enough wait or eating enough for the jaundice to go away. Our family doctor wanted me to breastfeed then formula bottle feed after each feeding. Baby ended up only wanting the bottle because of the fast flow. He would drink 4oz bottles within 4 minutes every two hours and spit up a lot between 3-5 weeks old. He gained so much weight too quickly.. Iâm trying everything to get baby back to my breast only but my flow is slow and supply has decreased significantly .. I really didnât want to pump 8 times a day to get my supply back so I asked my lactation consultant about this product and she said yes try it itâs very similar to what they have at their office to help mothers. Itâs been a week and my baby is happy taking my breast with me controlling the flow of formula with it. The first couple days were rough but I didnât give up! I feed him whenever heâs ready so I can sync back to him plus itâs teaching him to slow eat again so he actually get full and doesnât spit up. Iâm super grateful for this product. Just give it a chance!
