Supplemental Nursing System - DIY Tutorial
Welcome to The Breastfeeding Mama! In this video, I'llwalk you through the simple steps to create a homemade supplemental nursing system (SNS). Whether you're dealing with low milk supply, adoptive breastfeeding, or need to supplement for other reasons, an SNS can be a game-changer for you and your baby.
👩⚕️ What You'll Learn:
Materials Needed for a DIY Supplemental Nursing System
Step-by-Step Instructions to create your own SNS at home
🔧 Materials Needed:
I recommend purchasing the homemade lactation aid kit from Lactation Hub - lactationhub.com/lacttube-pediatric-feeding-tube-lactation-aid-parent-set-2pc-lacttube-2pc-30ml-syringe/?aff=40 (affiliate)
💡 Why Use an SNS?
Using a supplemental nursing system allows your baby to receive necessary supplementation while still breastfeeding, promoting bonding and maintaining your milk supply. It's an ideal solution for moms who need to supplement temporarily or long-term.

What size bottles do you recommend having available for the first couple months? 4oz or 8oz?
4 ounce!
The Medela Calma nipple has been a life saver
How did u do please b help
Do you happen to know if the protein powder is safe during pregnancy I here mixed things about protein powders which is so annoying:(
Depends on the protein powder. Generally the cleaner it is, the better. This article might help - thebreastfeedingmama.com/protein-powder-breastfeeding/
Any thoughts on nanobebe bottles?
@thebreastfeedingmama
What do you think about the boon Nursh nipples? I think they look like Comotomo, but I feel like they have a shorter nipple
I love the idea of them but the slope of the nipple is still not my favorite. Very wide base and it doesn’t slope gradually. It overall has the same issues as the como tomo in that it encourages a lazy latch.
My baby 6weeks and do this always when this stopped?
I would work with an IBCLC to evaluate your situation :)
What are your thoughts on the Haakaa nipples? I’m glad you mentioned Lansinoh too :)
Not a fan :) it’s flattened and it’s very tall with a strange transition to the base.
Thats amazing that you kept feeding. I had the same issues with my son and so i finally switched to pumping at month 2 when i got a pinched nerve in my back from basically clenching and trying to fight through the pain. I wished i coyld have found someone to help me, because i loved the bonding aspect, but pumping was the best alternative for me and it allowed me to measure how much i was feeding, which was helpful to know since wecstruggled with weight gain. I lost so much weight i was likely feeding sim milk. I was devistated to have to add in formula, but it did help him gain weight, so i got over it. I gave it all up and switched to formula at 10 months. My health was in extremely bad shape from such little sleep, due to my very small capacity having to pump every couple of hrs to not feel painfully full. Im hoping my next baby wont have the same issues
I love that you shared your experience. As a medical scientist and a person with extensive experience with healthcare providers, I strongly suggest that anytime you are met with anyone, be it a layperson or a professional, who approaches your issue with an attitude of absolutism, RUN THE OTHER WAY. Don't give up and accept what you’re dealing with is not fixable, keep looking for help elsewhere. No two situations are ever the same, and most people tend to form opinions based on their own limited experience, which is statistically insignificant. Believe it or not, doctors are trained with what I call the flowchart model, and if you don’t fit neatly into the flowchart they've been taught, they don’t know what to do with you. They don’t like to admit that, so their reaction is often to brush you off and minimize whatever you're dealing with so you'll go away. Follow your gut. Always listen to your instincts. Don’t feel embarrassed or pesky. Keep pushing and searching until you're convinced you're getting the best advice. Sadly, you have to be your own advocate and stand up, strong, tall, and proud and fight for proper care.
My daughter had a tounge tie and lip tie as well as a buccal tie. We got it relased, and she's already 5 months, and she's still not latching. She bites down on my nipples and doesn't open her mouth wode enough. She's been healed now over a mouth. Im at lost for words. I've seen an IBLCE and thought i got enough help, and im still struggling. Also, im struggling with pumping. My LC just eyeballed it and said i was a 15mm, but it still feels off to me. I'm not sure if i have elastic nipples. Im having to supplement with formula, and i just wanna get her latched and hopefully get my milk supply to come in. I barely get .5 to an 1 on my good side. My slacker side barely gets a couple of drops. :( When i get her on, she doesnt stay on long enough, she gets frustrated.
Unfortunately I don’t have any help, but I’m so sorry you’re going through this! Sending hugs! 🤗
I know an evenflo nipple when I see it lol. I wish they were easier to find though
I wish they were, too!!
What about the Avent bottle?
They aren't the worst bottle - the nipple shape isn't my favorite, and it can be a fast flow (even with the slow flow). But I like it more than some bottles. I will say that there was a change in one of the bottles (I think the natural flow), and the flow is TOO slow - as in, a baby will be bottle feeding for an hour and not get a thing. So I would be careful with that.
thanks for the info!
My son bit me SO bad several days ago rhst nursing makes me cry out in pain so ive developed several severe clogs. I cant put as much epsom salts as you recommended becasue its hurting the bite area SO much! Do you possibly have any other recommendations?
You are SO brave to take your baby at 6 months!!!! I plan to do it immediately for bebe 2- if bebe gets diagnosed w/ tie release
I finally decided to stop breastfeeding & pumping for my mental health. Psychiatrist thinks I have Bipolar Disorder & I might, but I want to return mentally to my normal self because my mental health moodiness began when I got pregnant & continued for almost a year after I had him. So now its time for me to stop because I want to stop feeling crazy. I want my Psychiatrist to evaluate me as I actually am, not because she sees my hormonal mood swings & thinks I'm someone else. 😭😭😭
Thank you
yeah thanks i could read that
Remember what?
What do you do then?
Rate pls...how to order
What about comotomo bottles?
I am not a fan of these because of the long nipple and non-gradual slope. This encourages straw-like breastfeeding, where the baby only hangs out on the nipple and sucks that way. Babies generally can't get a very deep latch on them as well.

I can’t have banana 🍌 😢
I don’t get it
Hi thanks for this video, did you have to go through procedure again after the re attachment? And was it difficult to do the exercises ?
Hello! Exercises weren’t convenient but not terrible. You just have to be consistent. And the dentist actually just broke the regrowth with his fingers.
Thanks so much for your response :) we just did the procedure last week. I was hoping it would be an immediate improvement but so far it's not so different... how long did it take for you to notice a difference? or was it immediate@@TheBreastfeedingMama
@@uk9030 unfortunately we usually don’t see immediate improvement most of the time. I know one of the dentists I refer to often says don’t expect anything for at least two weeks. The older the child is, the longer it might take. Do you have a rehabilitation plan and also working with a CST or OT? Happy to do a consult with you if you need additional support.
❤❤❤❤
When do we start giving solids before milk
Generally 6 months along with other signs of readiness. Be sure to grab my class Fuss-Free Solids! thebreastfeedingmama.com/product/introducing-solids-course/
OH MY GOD!!! SO MANY REASON WHY THIS IS SERIOUSLY A HORRIBLE IDEA CREATING AN EAR INFECTION CHOKING GASSY TUMMY JUST GET A SMALLER NIPPLE AND THIS WILL HELP BABY SLOW DOWN ❤
It actually works quite well with many babies and tends to lead to less gassiness and reflux 🥰🥰
Could you prefill formula into the chiller prior to entering tsa? I assume no correct?
Formula is considered a medically necessary liquid by the TSA, so if you are flying within TSA jurisdiction, this should work!
how do you know if the aligments for the inserts are correct since its hard to see
My girl is 3months old and is 5.0kg but is not reflecting
How old can you weaning
Any age
Does it matter what kind of epson salt? I only have one with lavender and one with tea tree oil right now
I would typically recommended just plain epsom salts.
😢
I was just trying to find the japanese vampire song "lavie" : (
😢❤
I want Ti do this but my baby is a big boy and I feel like we don’t have enough room as I’m super short waisted
😢
😭 I need advice. My baby is turning 1 in a few days and I am already so emotional about the weaning process. It's been my way to connect with her. I think it will be hard for her in the evening/nights

😢 this has been so so emotionally draining and physically hurting now. My 2 year old is not at all ready to stop breastfeeding at all 🥲🥲
Are you familiar with the Dr Talbotts bottle? Opinion on it?
HMMM, THESES AREN'T REAL BABIES, WHATS THE POINT ?
I do not recommend you... good bye! 👎
We have the same fridge and I just used it to get water literally 30 seconds ago
