| This is awesome for any mom wanting to increase their supply or keep baby at the breast. I would recomend it to any nursing mom who needs to supplement. You can avoid nipple confusion with this product. |
Did not work for us

| My wife was determined to exclusively breastfeed our first child but since our daughter had low birth weight, we had to supplement her. She soon got used to bottle feeding and refused to feed directly from the breast. My wife first tried using this system when our daughter was 8 weeks old. Our baby would get extremely frustrated when we tried to feed her using the SNS. Without the SNS she used to directly breast feed for around 5 minutes and then my wife bottle fed expressed breast milk. But with the SNS our baby got so frustrated that it was then difficult to calm her down, she got so irritated that she refused to feed from the bottle too. My wife didn't want to give up and tried a few more times but ultimately we gave up. My wife has gone back to her pumping routine. Luckily, she could keep up her milk supply with herbs. Maybe waiting till 8 weeks was the problem. The product might have helped if we never used the bottle and used the sns to supplement from the very beginning. It was a complete waste of money for us. |
Saved my nursing relationship!!

| A great product! My baby developed a strong flow preference after having too many supplemental bottles due to my low milk supply. I bought the product and it really helped. Ive used it for over a month now 2-3x a day. My supply has increased, my baby is more satisfied and now loves nursing, and I havent given a supplemental bottle in over a month. If your baby is older, then its just much easier to insert the tube into the corner of babys mouth rather than taping it all to your chest. Theres an online video on this, just google sns. Also, to prevent a vacuum that sops flow, keep both tubes open and point one up so it doesnt leak (maybe rubberband it to the bottle), this will allow air to escape and prevent vacuum. Overall a great product!! |
Had a hard time getting the tubing to stay

| I could never get this product to work correctly. The tubing would not stay where it was supposed to. I ended up not even using it. I wish I would have kept my money. |

| I had a nasty case of mastitis that impacted my production. On top of that, my preemie twins struggled to latch and, when they did, they were frustrated because my milk was slow flow compared to their bottles. This helped with my flow but it wasnt a huge help with increasing my production. |
