At first I thought I liked the SNS better...it seems easier to handle/fill,
and has 3 sizes of tubing.

However, I have come to prefer the Lactaid, as the single tube seems to flow
faster/more easily than the largest SNS, even if you use the extra SNS tube
for a "vent"--open and taped facing up-wards on the body of the SNS.  So for
most babies who need fairly large volumes through the tube, they are less
likely to get frustrated or fall asleep with the Lactaid.
