I would like to use nursing supplementers much more frequently in practice
than I now do.
Bottle supplementation is the norm in my facility.
I have and use the Medela starter SNS units, however I just don't like the
way the valve doesn't easily snap down, and it just does not seem a quick
and easy device to use.
The larger units, SNS or Lactaid, are not well received in our population,
due to cost.
I know about and have used the "home made" supplementer with a #5 French
tube threaded through a bottle/nipple. However I only have the short tubes
which make it difficult. I am looking into seeing if I can get the 36 inch
ones.
Any suggestions about how you all are using these.
