Hi Laurie,
There is a great SNS resource that might be helpful to you. Nicole Bernshaw
turned us onto it last year (and we added it to our line). It was written by
Márta Guóth-Gumberger, IBCLC, and published last year in both German and
English. Breastfeeding With the Supplementary Nursing System (SNS) is a 16
page booklet with detailed descriptions and extensive color photographs.
You can read more about it at Marta's website,
http://www.breastfeeding-support.de/eng/pub.htm.
Hope this is helpful!
- Dia

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.
