Support your breastfeeding journey with the Medela Supplemental Nursing System (SNS) — a specially designed feeding solution that helps babies receive supplemental milk while staying at the breast. Ideal for mothers who want to continue breastfeeding while providing additional nutrition, the SNS encourages bonding, stimulates milk supply, and helps babies learn proper latch and suckling.
Widely used by lactation consultants, the SNS allows caregivers to supplement with expressed breast milk or formula without introducing a bottle. This maintains breastfeeding behaviours and supports long-term success.
