Haakaa Supplemental Nursing System (SNS)
Our Silicone Feeding Tube and Generation 3 Baby Bottle now come together as a convenient Supplemental Feeding Combo for mothers who are experiencing feeding or latching issues with their babies!
If you and your baby experience feeding issues – including latching problems, low milk supply, or maybe little ones that need a little extra nourishment or help to learn how to feed – then the Silicone Feeding Tube Set could be of assistance to you. It helps you to overcome some of these common issues by connecting a bottle of supplemented milk to your breast via a tube, delivering a constant and controllable flow of milk to baby at the breast. Through the use of the Silicone Feeding Tube, both mother and baby can experience the natural physical sensation of breastfeeding, while encouraging mum’s supply and ensuring that baby receives adequate nutrition.
The Haakaa Silicone Baby Bottle is made from 100% food grade silicone, which makes it uniquely soft and safe for your baby. It is easy for little hands to hold, and because the silicone is impact-resistant, you can teach independence without worrying about breakages. It works seamlessly with our Silicone Feeding Tube Set, and is fully compatible with the rest of our silicone bottle attachments too! With a quick twist of the top, you can swap out your baby bottle teat for any of our range of optional interchangeable attachments (each sold separately). We have a feeding spoon dispenser for when your baby moves on to solids, a sippy bottle top to help your independent toddler transition from a bottle to a cup, and a sealing disk to preserve any leftover food or milk after feeding.

How To Use the Haakaa Supplemental Silicone Feeding Tube Set:
1. Insert both the inlet and outlet tubes into ends of the tube adapter. Thread the end of the outlet tube through the flow controller.
2. Push the thick inlet tube down through the X-shaped opening on the Variable Flow Nipple and pull it through until it is long enough to reach the milk in the bottle. Attach the nipple to the bottle.
3. Place the end of the thin outlet tube 1-2cm away from your nipple and secure its position with medical tape.
4. Introduce your baby to your nipple and then place the thin outlet tube gently into their mouth to begin feeding.
5. Squeeze the Gen. 3 Silicone Baby Bottle body to control the flow of milk. Increase pressure on the bottle to increase the speed that milk flows or reduce pressure to slow it down. You can also use the flow controller to manager the speed that milk flows, adjusting to suit your child.
Top Tip: The Haakaa Supplemental Silicone Feeding Tube Set can be used with any baby bottle, as long as it is fitted with an X-shaped variable flow teat. Simply place the bottle above the end of the tube that is taped to your breast and let gravity do the work as your milk flows through the tube.
Clean after each use. Use the included cleaning brush to scrub the inside of the tube before rinsing with hot water. For smoother operation, feed the brush through the tube by the handle and pull through.
