## Overview

Medela’s Supplemental Nursing System (SNS) is a specialty lactation aid designed to support parents with low milk supply or feeding challenges. Featuring a 150ml container, a thin flexible tube with rounded edges, and a leak-proof TwistLok connector, it delivers consistent milk flow while promoting skin-to-skin bonding. Easy to clip, control, clean, and reuse, this system empowers diverse families to nurture their babies with confidence and comfort.

## Description

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.

Review: Well made product - Used for just over a month now and the product itself is great. A couple prior reviews mention that it easily breaks but it seems quite well made to me. It is a bit difficult to get the hang of using, but that is not a product issue and more is a user error issue. Definitely suggest consulting with a lactation specialist for tips on use.
Review: Do not buy - This product needs a major redesign. I decided to buy even with several negative reviews. This product is terrible. Please consider buying a different brand SNS. My first system broke within two weeks of use. It also came missing the cap on the air valve. This causes expensive formula or valuable breast milk to leak constantly. If you do not screw on the lid exactly right it will also leak milk. When I say leak, I mean, the milk is actually pouring out. I decided to give it another chance, the second SNS I purchased also came missing the air valve cap. I reached out to Medela directly. After being ran around, the extremely unhelpful, customer service said they will be sending two new systems however they are on backorder. Here’s hoping they actually included all the parts this time however, it seems like a very common manufacturing mistake. Medela, do better.

## Features

- 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
- EASY TO USE: The standard 150ml Medela container and lid makes milk preparation, storage, transport and feeding easy. Securely clip the SNS to a nursing bra, shirt or pillow and use the simple 'on off' control to stop and start the milk flow
- EASY TO CLEAN AND REUSABLE: Includes a specialty cleaning aid for the tube to make cleaning easy. Reusable device designed for long term use

### ⭐⭐⭐ Works but not my favorite
*by M***T on June 25, 2024*

The clip system is not particularly functional and the piece the tubing screws into cracked and made it impossible to continue using. I appreciate the attempt to make an SNS easy to use but I prefer the feeding tunes attached to a strategically placed bottle instead
