Is there any point to it? I've heard of it being done but can't figure out why. >> Dear Suzanne, Yes. A mom is currently doing this in my area. She previously breastfed 4 children completely. That marriage ended. She married again and had the reduction surgery. Since then she has had 2 more children and breastfed using the SNS. The herbs increase her milk supply so she needs much less formula. Currently the 3 month old baby is about 1/2 to 2/3 breastmilk fed. The mother only breastfeeds, supplements at the breast with SNS during the day and uses the breast alone at night. Baby is gaining very well.
