Medela 101046040 Baby Special Needs Feeder 150 ml

Although most mothers and babies can breastfeed without special assistance, sometimes more help is needed. Premature babies, babies with specific impairments may require extra assistance. The Medela Special Needs Feeder helps ease feeding complications. For babies with nursing difficulties, particularly children with cleft lip/palate, weak babies or babies with Down's syndrome or other neurological difficulties. The SpecialNeeds Feeder is designed to allow the baby to use compression when they cannot create a vacuum to extract the liquid. The one-way valve prevents air from entering the teat. The caregiver can control the milk flow easily, thanks to the slit valve mechanism.

• Designed for you: The SpecialNeeds feeding solution created by Medela for mums wishing to feed their babies with expressed milk, designed for babies who cannot create a vacuum due to a birth defect
• Keep calm and relaxed: The slit valve uses compression to make the teat sensitive to any feeding efforts, while also preventing air from entering the teat, for babies with a cleft lip or palate
• Baby-friendly: Created with a slit valve mechanism and oneway design which stops air from entering the bottle, giving the caregiver the ability to have better control over the flow of milk
• Safety first: The line marks help the caregiver find the right position to control the three different flow types; while the teat is also sensitive enough to close completely when baby wants to pause
• • INCLUDES: Soft & Gentle Feeder with 150 ml Bottle
