Darillyn asks:

Has anyone found any better ways to use it?  I have also thought that the
Medela finger feeder looks like it would work better at the breast than the
Starter SNS.  Has anyone tried it?

I worked with the daughter of a friend whose mom is also an LC (we both
worked with her but that's another story....LOL). She used the Hazelbaker feeder at
the breast and liked it and found it easy to use.  She found she could tuck
it into her bra between her breasts easily. She also found it relatively easy
to clean and use in general. Since then I have recommended it instead of the
SNS b/c of it's cheaper cost if I think it's going to be used for a short period
of time (a few weeks or less).  I have never really cared for the starter SNS
and find it difficult to use and prone to leakage at times. Also don't forget
the starter SNS is supposed to be used only for one day.......or at least
that's what the package information used to say but it's been so long since I
used one I don't know if it still says that.  I know many used it longer but I
felt there might be some liability issues if I recommended that it be used
longer than the manufacturer recommended.
