How to Use Medela Supplement Nursing System (SNS)
The Supplemental Nursing System (SNS) is a nursing device specifically designed to help mothers and parents breastfeed / chestfeed by supplying milk to the baby while they are being fed at the breast/chest.
Expressing and Storing Breastmilk
Expressing breastmilk can relieve breast fullness, soften the breasts, and make it easier for the milk to flow. It is also important to maintain a mother’s milk supply during separation and make milk available for someone else to feed the baby. This video shows how to hand express breast milk and how to safely store it for later use.
