Supplemental Nursing System (SNS)

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.

Supporting mothers and parents to breastfeed/chestfeed

By increasing the opportunity to feed at the breast / chest, the Supplemental Nursing System (SNS):

• facilitates bonding and skin-to-skin contact helping to calm and comfort the baby
• promotes milk supply by stimulating the breast through sustained sucking
• supports non-lactating, adoptive, surrogate, same sex, transgender and non-binary parents to create a breastfeeding/chestfeeding experience
• supports the baby’s oral development of sucking skills to create vacuum
• promotes normal oro-facial growth in babies
• provides milk supplementation without the use of bottles and teats
