Laurie, I agree with you about the sns but I have been told that if we
use a made up type of sns, that we could be liable if someone gets hurt
because we are not using the product as intended. I don't' know if this
is true but I don't chance it. Lois Mathews R.N. IBCLC

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.
