Medela Starter Supplemental Nursing System with 80ml Bottle

فااااشل اختراع سيئ

The clip on the first one I ordered broke before I even got to use the system but Amazon sent a replacement. The clip isn't very strong. You have to make sure you assemble it properly otherwise it can leak everywhere. The tubing is very soft so if you're used to the SNS tube, you may find this more difficult to use as you have to place it before they latch as it is not firm enough to slip between the breast and the babies lips.

Leaked everywhere when trying to use. Product returned for refund

Ok mamas, get in here! I don’t usually write reviews but I decided to write one to help any new mom considering getting this item. It’s hard being a new mom and making the decision to buy this easier is me trying to help. So first things first, i read prior reviews before ordering this and there were a lot of complaints from leaks to difficulties using the sns in general. But I was desperate and ordered it anyways. Not to bore you with the details, my 5 week old daughter had nipple confusion from early introduction of bottle feeding cos I had some nursing issues early on in my breastfeeding journey. I had resigned to exclusively pumping but it is a lot of work. Also my daughters intake per feed was increasing meaning I had to increase pumping to increase supply and I was getting exhausted. She absolutely rejected the nipple when I tried to feed her. She would taste the nipple and spit it out cos she didn’t instant gratification like the bottle nipple. I was getting frustrated cos I tried everything online(skin to skin and the whole nine yards) . Using an sns was my last resort and I’m glad I tried it. In less than 1 week, my daughter is back to breastfeeding and I have reduced pumping to 2ce a day with increased supply (yaaaaaay!). This thing works. Now to the cons. It was hard to use at first. In fact It leaked breast milk everywhere the first time I used it. I was like yeah you should’ve listened to the reviews.m but after that I watched a video on YouTube and saw I was assembling it the wrong way and the leak stopped. Also, get your own tape to secure the tube to your breasts stopping just before the areola. I used an inverted T to secure the tube and that worked. After a few uses, you get used to it. Finally, cleaning is not easy but I take my time cos it’s nothing compared to pumping all the time. It’s supposed to be disposable but I use boiling water to sterilize (don’t boil or microwave) and Iv used it for a week now.

We received one of these from our lactation consultant to use while my daughter learned to latch.She taught us how to use it and it was super easy. You just have to make sure everything is in place correctly and then you flip the bottle upside down, squeeze the bulb and squeeze again to prime the tubing. The little crack in the plastic piece on the tubing will hold the milk in place if you slip the tubing in there. The tape is to tape it on your breast to align it perfectly with your nipple. Then you can you use the clip around the bottle to hold it somewhere while you feed. Once the baby latches, you can unclip the tubing and if you see bubbles in the milk that means your baby is sucking the milk. If she feels the plastic, I just slip the tubing in after she starts sucking. If you have everything in place, it won’t leak. But everything has to be tight! I used it, rinsed it, and placed it inn my sterilizer. I got a plenty of uses out of it this way! And my daughter was able to gain weight and keep her energy while learning to suck. And avoided having to take a bottle in the first 6 weeks and deal with nipple confusion. This was the fastest way for me to replace the one given by our LC and continue using.will keep purchasing whenever my daughter and milk supply needs a boost!

good as a supply for a healthcare /hospital setting , in which case you dont need to get it through amazon. cant be cleaned, good for 24 hours only. not for home use.
